BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT)

Staff Attends Information Seminar

In October, Metro staff along with City of Madison and other transportation officials attended a seminar sponsored by the National Bus Rapid Transit Institute on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

Bus Rapid Transit refers to a vehicle transit service that is at a higher speed than an ordinary bus route. This can usually be done by making improvements to the infrastructure of an existing transit system, its vehicles as well as scheduling.
