Bus Rapid Transit

Freeway BRT

This report in the Transit Strategies Series explores Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).  Since the late 1990s, nearly 200 cities throughout the world have developed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services that have made bus service much more attractive and greatly increased ridership. Compared to light rail transit (LRT), BRT typically has much lower capital and operating costs. And compared to regular buses, BRT is faster, more reliable, and more easily identifiable.

What do you think?  Where should Nashville MTA/RTA consider Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)?
