Context of the visit
Codatu organised a visit to the cities of Bogota and Cali (Colombia) for a delegation from the city of Addis Ababa, which is particularly interested in BRT systems as it is about to build the first BRT line on its territory.
Goals
Present efficient BRT-type public transport systems and demonstrate the importance of stakeholder coordination in creating integrated transport systems. In particular, this involves:
- Consolidating participants’ knowledge of public transport governance and financing;
- Improving their ability to implement and operate a BRT system;
- Helping to develop an institutional, physical and tariff-based intermodality reflex;
- Developing electric mobility policies (integration of electric buses);
- Presenting other modes of transport that can connect a transport network: urban cable cars, active modes (cycle network and self-service bicycle system);
- Raising awareness of the social support and urban integration policies of public transport projects.
