BRTS * South Africa - Govt wants you on the bus, but a few speed bumps loom
Johannesburg,S.Africa -The Egineering Nes, by Irma Venter -7 Dec 2007: -- The new bus rapid transport (BRT) system, named Rea Vaya, or “we are moving”, will introduce a sea change from the current public transport system South Africans have come to know... One of the most noticeable changes when the system becomes operational in 2009 will be the absence of minibus taxis – or, at least, on the trunk (main) routes which will be serviced by the new BRT system... City of Johannesburg transportation executive director Bob Stanway says the only buses allowed on the trunk routes will be those of the BRT system... Buses will stop at special stations to be constructed every 500 m to 750 m along the trunk routes. This means a current four-lane road will typically see the two middle lanes taken up by the BRT system, with the remaining lanes allocated to other vehicles...Labels: bus rapid transit - BRT
