Although many cities have sought to employ busways and bus rapid transit running ways that can be converted to future light rail operation, few cities have done so. This paper will examine the reasons why and present the barriers and costs associated with such convertible BRT/busway design approaches, with real-world case study examples presented. Also presented will be a set of design considerations and recommendations for those BRT/busway projects that seek such convertibility in their designs.
