Xiamen’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was formally put into operation on August 31 2008 in the Chinese city of Xiamen and is considered China’s first elevated BRT network. The system uses some dedicated elevated roadways as well as dedicated lanes on bridges which allow buses to reach speeds of 60 km/h. Due to its success the city has won honors as the China’s top transportation city for six years running with more than 30% of trips taken by public transport.
