ZURICH-KUNMING SISTER-CITY PROJECT: BUS RAPID TRANSIT COMES TO CHINA

The city of Kunming is implementing a series of progressive land use and urban transportation changes unprecedented in China. Kunming's "Public Transport Masterplan," with dedicated bus lines, new trams, and clustered development arose via the Kunming-Zurich Sister City partnership. This paper discusses elements of the Kunming Masterplan and focuses on how dedicated bus lanes and other improvements to the bus rapid transit network are improving the speed and efficiency of the transit system.
