	Mass Rapid Transit Bureau, Kaohsiung City
		The Mass Rapid Transit System is a public transportation system, using electric-powered rolling stock running in its own right-of-way on guideway facilities at-grade, underground, or elevated, free from interference with other ground traffic, to transport large volumes of passengers at high speeds and with short headway, in the city and its adjacent areas.
		The "Regulations Governing Construction of the Rapid Transit System by Private Enterprises" promulgated in December 5, 1994 states that KMRT will be planned by Kaohsiung City Government and be constructed and operated by private enterprises.
		Kaohsiung City Government invited private enterprises to tender for the construction and operation of the Orange and Red Lines on February 1, 1999 and has been negotiating with the potential investors since June 1999.

		Bus rapid transit Route E in Honolulu ran almost empty buses until its discontinuation in 2005.
		Either the bus rapid transit attracts so many riders that the system has capacity issues, or the city fails to implement the BRT correctly, or the image associated with buses sticks in car driver's mind, dissuading them from considering transit (or a combination of the three).
		Bus rapid transit, though, is cheaper to implement and is why cities throughout the United States (and the world) are planning to speed up buses as short term traffic solutions.
