Bus Rapid Transit

BRT uses specially-branded high-capacity buses that operate in dedicated lanes to avoid traffic congestion. Buses have a limited number of stops and traffic signal prioritization systems help ensure that buses keep moving. Optical guidance systems and off-board ticketing minimize stop times. Buses come more frequently, enhancing passenger convenience and satisfaction.

The BRT concept is similar to light rail, but has two key advantages:

1)BRT costs much less and is quicker to implement because it typically uses existing roads and streets.
2)BRT is flexible, and integrates easily with existing transit modes. Service can be expanded quickly and less expensively to meet the needs of cities as they grow.

From Phoenix to Toronto, from Bordeaux to Bogota, Veolia Transport is demonstrating that BRT is a valuable transit solution for environmental, mobility and economic reasons.
