Bus Rapid Transit * USA - Seeing red about Rapid buses in the Lone Star State
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -Metro Rider LA -7 Sewt 2007: -- Metro’s Rapid bus network has been the brigadier general in the public relations offensive for bus rapid transit... Bus rapid transit builds a rail transit system without even having to lay down track, and transit users cannot tell the difference... Metro succeeded admirably. It has built 6-lane guideways for buses, and the spare capacity can accommodate other vehicles! It has efficiently allocated the use of proof-of-fare machines by placing them on board the vehicles! The vehicles, indistinguishable from rail cars apart from the red livery, pimp-strut up to traffic lights and demand, “Where’s my green, bee-yotch?”...
