The purpose of this guide is to bring recent international experience to bear on accessibility issues that challenge the ability of Bus Rapid Transit systems in less-wealthy countries to serve persons with disabilities, seniors, and others who especially benefit from inclusive design. This publication is not a general guide but rather is aimed directly at those concerns that have especially caused many BRT systems to fall short of their potential to serve all categories of passengers. In 2007, the World Bank commissioned the Bus Rapid Transit Accessibility Guidelines, a compilation of international resources available at http://go.worldbank.org/MQUMJCL1W1. Sections of this guide are referenced to this publication, as is the Check List from those guidelines that appears as Appendix A. Along with the additional resources found in Appendix B, these sources provide technical guidance for the features discussed in this current publication.
