What are the benefits of bus rapid transit?
Bus rapid transit will take advantage of the free-flowing managed lanes to move transit riders quickly through the corridor in a bus that resembles a “train on rubber tires.” As proposed, the bus rapid transit system also will provide an excellent opportunity for transit-oriented development, creating communities that are less dependent on cars. This will result in increased bus rapid transit ridership, less congestion from the reduced numbers of cars on the road and improved air quality.
