This paper analyzes the feasibility of introducing a bus rapid transit (BRT) system and the restructuring of the bus route network to improve the performance of the local bus service in Yangon, Myanmar. First, we summarize the characteristics of the current urban bus service in Yangon. We point out that the point-to-point bus route network results in many overlapping routes along main roads and this leads to serious traffic congestion. Then, we examine the feasibility of two policy options. The first case (Case 1) introduces a new BRT line to the existing bus network; while the second case (Case 2) restructures the bus route network whilst introducing a new BRT line. Five types of BRT fares are considered for each case. To evaluate these policy options, a travel demand forecast system, including the estimation of an origin-destination table and a bus route-choice model, is developed. The results of the evaluation show that Case 1-400, in which a new BRT with a flat fare of 400 Kyats, introduced to the existing bus route network offers the most desirable outcome.
