  3. What is a BRT System? BRT is a fully-integrated bus-based “rapid” transit system typically utilizing highly flexible service and advanced technologies to improve customer convenience and reduce delays. CUTR – “Bus Rapid Transit: An Overview” presentation to the Central Jersey Transportation Forum, September 2001

  4. Bus RapidTransit on US 36 • Overall Concept/ Definition: • Frequent service every 1-2 minutes in peaks • BRT-Only (barrier-separated); or • BRT/HOV (buffer-separated) • In-line stations save travel time

  5. ComponentOptions • Guideways • Stations • Technologies/ Operations

  6. GuidewayOptions • Buffer-Separated (median)

  7. GuidewayOptions • Barrier-Separated (median)

  8. GuidewayOptions • Barrier-Separated (side)

  9. GuidewayOptions • Guided Busway

  10. StationOptions • In Median

  11. StationOptions • In Median

  12. StationOptions • On Side of ROW

  13. StationOptions • Slip ramps at park-n-Rides

  14. Technology/OperationsOptions • Standard Vehicle • Hybrid Vehicle • New Vehicle

  15. Technology/OperationsOptions • Guided buses? (not applicable) • One-side boarding or two? • High-speed long-haul service or arterial service (or both)?

  16. Technology/OperationsOptions • Layers of service: • long-haul regional service • enhanced local/express service • new activity center/circulator routes
