Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System – 10 Year Financial Model

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System – 10 Year Financial Model Description

A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is a high-efficiency public transport solution that uses dedicated lanes, priority signaling, and streamlined stations to deliver faster and more reliable bus service. Designed to move large numbers of passengers quickly through congested urban areas, BRT systems combine the capacity and speed of light rail with the flexibility and lower cost of buses. They improve transit accessibility, reduce travel times, and help cut traffic and emissions in growing cities.
