Bus Rapid Transit or BRT, can be a rather generic term applied to a variety of bus-based transportation systems. In some instances the 'Bus Rapid Transit' term is applied to bus services that have been improved or intensified through the introduction of enhanced infrastructure, such as bus lanes or corridors, the use of higher capacity vehicles operating a more intense service, or it may be applied, probably more correctly, to a bus-based system that bridges the quality and capacity gap between a normal urban bus service and a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. Bus Rapid Transit for the 21st Century examines the development of BRT, particularly in Britain and Ireland and also further afield, and at the elements that should be incorporated in a BRT scheme fit for the 21st century. This third edition of the book features additional chapters and updates and a wealth of colour photographs.

Light Rail Infrastructure was originally written in 1997 as an academic exercise, exploring the construction economics aspects of light rail. At that time, Dublin had yet to build the highly successful Luas light rail system, and there was a considerable lack of understanding in certain quarters regarding the benefits of light rail. Although the original text is now several years old, the principles explored are all still valid, and additional new chapters bring the book up to date. Light Rail Infrastructure gives a valuable overview of the benefits of light rail, which should be of interest to professionals and laypersons with an interest in the development of modern, environmentally-friendly and sustainable transport infrastructures.
