  4. Bus Rapid Transit Rapid Route 235 is the first of several Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services to be implemented in the San Diego region. Partnership between MTS, Caltrans, and SANDAG BRT is becoming increasingly popular in urban communities because it offers many of the features offered by rail-based transit
