With the support of the National Key Technologies R&D Program of the 10th Five-Year Plan, the Beijing Municipal Public Transportation Institute has achieved technological accomplishments in bus rapid transit intelligent system and has tested and demonstrated them on the nation's first large capacity BRT line. The technologies have been improved and perfected during the one-year operation.

The BRT intelligent system has realized integrated management for passengers, vehicles, stations and roads, bringing into full play the priority of public transportation, reasonable dispatching, streamlined getting-on-and-off system, safety and easiness and human-centered services.

As the 1st large capacity BRT line in China, the southern axis road of Beijing starts from the city center and runs southward for about 16 kilometers. It receives an average of 130,000 passengers every day, 220,000 during holidays and is 30 minutes quicker than common bus lines.

The successful operation of the line will provide experience for the building and operation management of the BRT systems in Beijing and other big and middle-sized cities of China.
