TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Research Results Digest 70: Innovations in Bus, Rail, and Specialized Transit Operations in Latin America summarizes an October 21-November 5, 2004, international study mission to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; and Quito, Ecuador. Rapid population growth, high-density areas, an aging population, increased usage of private automobiles, increased traffic congestion and air pollution, and increased demand on public transit are all issues the cities visited are experiencing. In addition, Brazil, Chile, and Ecuador view public transit as an important component of their national infrastructure.
