Xiamen's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was formally put into operation on August 31 2008 in the Chinese city of Xiamen.

The system uses some dedicated elevated roadways as well as dedicated lanes on bridges.


The system currently has 3 operational lines

  • BRT 1

From No.1 Port to New Xiamen Railway Station in Jimei 21 stops over 33.4km and takes about 90mins

  • BRT 1 Interchange

From No.1 Port and ends at Wenxing Dong Rd (Qianpu) 17 bus stops over 18.7km and takes about 50mins

  • BRT 2

The fare is calculated by distance travelled. The basic fare is 0.3rmb per km in non-air condition bus and 0.6rmb in air condition bus [1]
