BUS RAPID TRANSIT

P Longini

Abstract

With the FTA's waiting list of costly New Start rail projects approaching 100, and traffic congestion continuing to grow in metropolitan areas throughout the country, transit operators are being advised to consider an innovative alternative - bus rapid transit (BRT). The article provides an overview of BRT systems in operation in North America, and provides an in depth view of the systems in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Ottawa, Canada, the two systems that are redefining perceptions of bus travel.
