Reykjavík, Iceland

BRTPlan was contracted by SSH in Iceland to assist the government in preparing the conceptual design of the Borgarlína BRT, ensuring the highest-quality BRT for Reykjavík and surrounding communities. We also worked with Straeto, the regional bus operator to integrate their planned bus network redesign with the planned Borgarlína corridors.

BRTPlan was brought in by the City of Kirkland to lead the conceptual design of two BRT corridors with the aim of including them in the Sound Transit 3 (ST3) package.

BRTPlan was brought in by Swedfund, in cooperation with Ramboll Sweden, to develop a modern, model bus company in Yangon.

We built service plans and financial models to ensure the financial sustainability of the companies. 

On behalf of UN-Habitat, BRTPlan developed a pre-feasibility plan for BRT in Bogor.
