摘要：系统地介绍了厦门市高架BRT系统的建设实践，旨在为今后BRT系统的发展策略和建设模式提供经验借鉴。首先分析了厦门市BRT的建设背景，提出了BRT预留升级轨道交通的策略。然后，介绍了首期BRT系统三条线路的工程概况，详细阐述了BRT系统的六个组成部分，特别是中心区采取的高架为主的专有路权形式和功能齐全的车站。通过与轨道交通及其他地面BRT的综合比较分析，认为厦门市高架BRT系统具有较多优势，并取得了较好的运营效果，运输效率提高了2倍，运行速度提高了1倍。BRT在提高公交服务水平、缓解交通拥挤、引导城市发展方面发挥了良好的作用，是一种适合于厦门市目前发展阶段的建设模式。

Abstract：This paper systematically discusses the development of the elevated BRT system in Xiamen, in the hope to provide references for future BRT developments. The paper starts with a background of BRT development in the city, as well as strategies to reserve right of way (ROW) for the BRT improvement rail transit project. Then the paper details the 6 components of the BRT system, with a special mentioning of the city’s core area where the exclusive ROW was elevated for the most part, and built with full-fledged stations. A comparison with surface rail transit and other BRT systems shows that the elevated BRT system features a better operation with a tripled throughput and a doubled speed. In short, the elevated BRT system is well suited for the current development phase of Xiamen due to the fact that it improves the transit level of service, alleviates traffic congestion, and plays a favorable role in guiding urban development in the city.
