DOI: 10.1016/j.tranpol.2017.10.003
Abstract: Abstract Transit-dependent users, far from being captives, may have other transportation alternatives. In some developing countries, depending on the characteristics of the city, instead of cycling or walking, captive users opt for informal services to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19427867.2020.1805681
Abstract: ABSTRACT The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system can be a cost-effective alternative to foster public transportation. However, the delay in signalized intersections is critical to the stable progression of BRT operation. Transit Signal Priority (TSP)… read more here.
