Guangzhou won the Sustainable Transportation Award this year for its transportation innovations, including a new Bus Rapid Transit system that goes beyond “gold standard” BRT features such as dedicated running ways, pre-board fare collection and at-level platform boarding and provides direct service buses, stations and a fare system that is fully integrated with the city’s Metro and new bike share system. How does it all work? See for yourself!

Streetfilms just posted a great new video that shows the Guangzhou BRT system in action and features interview with ITDP staff, BRT system planners and the manager of the Guangzhou bike share program, as well as riders on the Guangzhou BRT system.
