Any of a variety of bus facilities, vehicles, and related systems intended to accommodate high capacity, improved speed, greater passenger convenience and comfort, and improved reliability and predictability of service, compared with ordinary in-street bus service. BRT routes may be in exclusive right of way, reserved lanes in streets, or lanes shared with other traffic. There are many similarities with light rail.
BRT is an integrated bus-based "rapid" transit system utilizing highly-flexible service and advanced technologies to improve customer convenience and reduce delays. BRT can operate on exclusive transitways, HOV lanes, expressways, or ordinary streets. Main features include modern low-floor buses, signal priority at intersections, maximum off-vehicle fare collection, reduced headways, real-time information displays, and modern stations.
A form of mass transportation that uses public roads, rights-of-way, and traffic signal priority to provide dependable, high-speed bus service.
A type of bus service that combines the quality of rail transit and the flexibility of buses. It can operate on exclusive transitways, HOV lanes, expressways, or ordinary streets. A BRT system combines intelligent transportation systems technology, priority for transit, rapid and convenient fare collection, and integration with land use policy in order to substantially upgrade bus system performance.
A bus service that combines the quality of rail transit and the flexibility of buses. It can operate on exclusive transitways, HOV lanes, expressways or ordinary streets. A BRT system combines intelligent transportation systems technology, priority for transit, cleaner and quieter vehicles and rapid and convenient fare collection.
BRT combines the quality of rail transit and the flexibility of buses. It can operate on bus lanes, HOV lanes, expressways, or ordinary streets. A BRT system combines a simple route layout, frequent service, limited stops, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology, passenger information systems, traffic signal priority for transit, cleaner and quieter vehicles, rapid and convenient fare collection, high-quality passenger facilities, and integration with land use policy.
A system that allows bus vehicles to operate on a right-of-way that is largely separated from other types of traffic.
A type of bus public transit whose main concept is high capacity, high frequency service with few stops than a regular local route.
BRT is a high speed bus system operated within an exclusive right-of-way. BRT incorporates exclusive transitways, modern stations, on-board fare collection, high-tech vehicles and frequent service. BRT systems can be built incrementally and designed for vehicles - rather than people - transfer from local bus routes to the high speed lines.
Bus Rapid Transit combines intelligent transportation systems technologies and could include the use of busways or shared HOV lanes with stations on fixed guideways. Bus Rapid Transit vehicles can accommodate approximately 40-80 people and travel around 50 MPH.
