Formation and Structure of the Asia BRTS Association: Agenda for Progress

The Asia BRTS Association (ABA) aims to establish a unified platform for cities in Asia with Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRTS) to collaborate and share knowledge. As urbanization accelerates, the ABA will promote best practices, enable technical support, and organize events to enhance BRTS implementation across the continent. This initiative seeks to formalize an association that will address core objectives, membership criteria, organizational structure, and funding sources, thereby ensuring sustainable development in public transit solutions.
