What is Bus Rapid Transit? BRT 101

[@SarahSkitchKitchen]

The only BRT i’ve used was in Calgary to get to the airport. It was cool though! Looking forward to riding more of these systems as more cities start to adopt them.

Thank you for representing Seoul! Their BRT systems consist of dedicated lanes and stops for many local and express bus routes, which is different than a dedicated line. That said, a dedicated system does exist south of there in a city called Sejong.

I would love to see BRT in the Phoenix Area! We have so many corridors that could be excellent BRT candidates. And I hope along with future BRT lines, we can add smart traffic signals that both prioritize transit and pedestrians, but also use sensors and technology to quickly change lights, minimizing downtime and create a psychological feeling that they are not negatively impacting drivers (which tends to be a complaint from drivers) -- something we desperately need at Light Rail grade crossings in Phoenix.
