Bus Rapid Transit

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a driver-operated, low-floor articulated bus technology that typically operates at street-level. Modern, clean diesel propulsion technology is assumed for the Surrey Rapid Transit Study.

BRT systems typically operate along major routes in the street in reserved lanes or on street-level dedicated rights of way separated from other traffic to improve travel time and reliability. Most run exclusively on the surface, but can also be underground or elevated.
