I read an article in IEEE Spectrum over the summer about a similar system in São Paulo, Brazil. I wonder if there's anything unique about the city structure, culture, government, or weather of South America that encourages the adoption of Bus Rapid Transit. What do you think about Bus Rapid Transit? I'm on the fence, but this video certainly makes the Bogotá systems look much better than any bus system I've ever used.

Why is there no footage of the buses zipping by bumper-to-bumper traffic? Isn't that supposed to be one of the benefits of having dedicated lanes? Otherwise, why not just run buses on the street?
