Public transportation is an important key to improve quality of life for cities.It is a key to show development of the cities.In today,there is a need having new solutions for mass transit.For this reason transit authorities try to find best solution for the cities which are having high passenger demand.The best solution is different due to budget,infrastructure,demand and behavior of passenger,although it should be effective and sustainable.Bus rapid transit (BRT) system gives us effective and sustainable solution.For effective side it can be analyzed with cost effectiveness method.For the sustainable side it is an environmental system which is the most important issue for the 21 st century.Bus rapid transit is used effectively in the world due to its low cost,speed,high capacity,and innovative design and easy to implement.All of these properties answer the question why brt system is selected for public transportation.Istanbul which is the most population density city in Turkey has brt system.Istanbul metrobus which the other name is bus rapid transit is implemented in 2007.It connects Asia and Europe side and consists of four main parts.The last part is established in 2012.The brt line composes of 52 kilometer with 45 stations.IETT is a bus company; it is responsible buses and brt for Istanbul.IETT has comprehensive operation knowledge about public transportation.It has managed buses for 141 years.With this experience Istanbul metrobus is operated effectively.System analysis is an important issue for management.If you know system exactly,you can find critical points to improve it.From this viewpoint there are lots of analyses about Istanbul metrobus system.These analyses can be categorized in four main category; passenger demand,operation performance,improving system quality and benchmarking with other brt systems in the world.In this study,Istanbul bus rapid transit system is analyzed in detailed,such as why brt system is selected,implementation of Istanbul Brt system,what are the main elements of the system,operation model with operation information,cost effectiveness of Istanbul Brt system,after implementation what is savings,benchmarking Istanbul metrobus with other brt systems including what are the common points,what is difference of Istanbul Brt and swot analysis of Istanbul Brt.
