Bus Rapid Transit

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) uses rubber-tire, low-floor articulated buses that can run on diesel, compressed natural gas or electricity. 

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.

BRT uses signal priority at intersections and serve moderately-spaced stations at key destinations to improve journey times. A BRT system can typically move 2,000 to 3,000 people each hour in each direction.
