The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of a number of people in the development of this manual. Particular among these were Sam Zimmerman, consultant to the World Bank and Mr. Ajay Kumar, the World Bank project manager. We also benefitted greatly from the insights of Dario Hidalgo of EMBARQ. Further, we acknowledge the work of the staff of Transmilenio, S.A. in Bogota, especially Sandra Angel and Constanza Garcia for providing operating data for some of these analyses.


A number of analyses in this manual were prepared by students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. These include:
Case study – Bogota Ivan Sanchez

Case Study – Medellin Carlos Gonzalez-Calderon

Simulation modeling Felipe Aros Vera

Brian Maleck

Michael Kukesh

Sarah Ritter

Platform evacuation Kevin Watral

Sample problems Caitlynn Coppinger

Vertical circulation Robyn Marquis

Several procedures and tables in this report were adapted from the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, published by the Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC.
