BRT stands for "Bus Rapid Transit." It is an integrated, high performance transit system with a unique identity, designed to reduce travel time, improve reliability, and increase the level of comfort for bus customers. BRT systems typically consist of all or a combination of seven main elements, which include the following: - System identity and branding which bring a unique and distinguished visibility to the BRT service - Bus ways where the road is dedicated to the exclusive use of buses - High capacity vehicles - High visibility stations - A service plan that provides an easily understandable route map and schedule - Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that provides information on next arriving bus at the bus stations, and the next stop on-board buses - Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) which gives buses priority at traffic lights The video shows some of the first generation BRT elements already in place in New York City For more information: www.nyc.gov
