It´s a mystery to me why the US hasn´t embraced cost-effective center lane #BRT like this workhorse line in #CDMX #MexicoCity #transit #busrapidtransit #insurgentes

Starting soon - August 15th #Boston Blue Hill Ave project online meeting: #BusRapidTransit
https://www.boston.gov/calendar/blue-hill-ave-mattapan-square-transportation-action-plan

From @streetsblogmass #BusRapidTransit on Blue Hill Ave could save Mattapan bus riders up to an hour a day. But 'planners at Monday's meeting acknowledged that it's been challenging to get bus riders to sacrifice more of their time to come to a public meeting.' Most voices at the public meetings have been local drivers seeking to keep travel lanes and parking.

This whole tweet is *so close* to correct! Just replace “bus” with “car,” and “libertarian economist” in his bio with “failure at math.” All fixed. #PublicTransit #BusRapidTransit

Happy first anniversary to Van Ness BRT. #bus #busrapidtransit #brt #transit #publictransit #sanfrancisco

@maegul @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @alex @peertube @video So I just watched a video on my new favourite streaming site about why Cleveland, Ohio might just have America's best BRT (bus rapid transit) system.

Thanks to Matt Caffrey (@heartlandurbanist ) and his channel Heartland Urbanist (@heartlandurbanist_channel ) for publishing this video.

Several #bus routes in #MadisonWI have more riders than before the pandemic, according to Metro’s manager, and trends are showing 16% more riders this year so far than last year. https://captimes.com/news/government/gloria-reyes-is-wrong-about-brt-madison-metro-leader-says/article_40d9368a-3de6-521c-b6e9-9d1668423747.html

Can’t wait till #BusRapidTransit dedicated lanes are installed so that my bus won’t keep getting stuck in this mess.
I’m rooting for you @SoundTransit.

Apparently the #RBT in #RVA is a big deal! The Pulse is a "surprise success" popular with Richmond riders: https://www.virginiamercury.com/2022/11/23/richmonds-pulse-has-been-a-surprise-success-other-cities-and-states-are-taking-notice/

Other jurisdictions are taking note. In the #NorthernVA region, the Envision Route 7 #BusRapidTransit plans to connect Tysons (via Falls Church, Seven Corners, and Bailey’s Crossroads) to the Mark Center in Alexandria: https://novatransit.org/programs/route7/

On Omaha’s ORBT, your bike rides for free!

Do you combine modes of transit to get around?

Two years ago, #Omaha began running #ORBT (pronounced like orbit), which is Omaha Rapid Bus Transit, or #BusRapidTransit for the rest of the world.

While I can't quite call it a game changer just yet, it was a huge leap forward for #PublicTransit in our city.

Do you ride ORBT, or something similar where you live?
