It includes a general overview on widely observed BRT performance indicators. Findings in terms of the influence of Boston Silver Line 4 and 5 and Seoul BRT systems on urban development around the systems are quoted and used as case studies. Investigation on the performance of Boston SL 4/5 and Seoul BRT systems are provided. This article shows that two BRT systems of different performance are able to influence urban development around the systems in varying degrees.
