@Baron2yahoo Dreams sellers, brands creators... all on the back of the costumers and tax taxpayers!

Agreed!!!! This isn't some new technology or even actual progress. It's just an acknowledgment that our current bus systems are weak and the government entities running them are cheap!!!! Copying subways systems to make bus systems look better. The leadership today is so NARROW minded, it makes me sick. The incumbent ruin everything for our generation, that actually have ideas to run this stuff better. These people who set this up don't even ride the buses.

I reckon every corridor requires a different solution BRT, LRT or Heavy Rail

I still think that, overall, subways or elevated trains - or any train system segregated from street traffic - is definitely better, rapid buses should always be part of any transit network in any major city. Vancouver has had it for nearly 15 years now and it's been great in all its applications - and some proved so popular they had to be replaced with trains.

yeh... show us a bus and tell us BRT as if we were born yesterday. keep making idiots out of us

Nashville, TN has it's first Lite BRT route. It is a start and I hope the go all the way with the BRT idea.

@Aragnatim that's an example from Minnesota. The situation is not the same in every city like yours. I live in the South, and Atlanta's subway is way better than their bus system. In alabama buses breakdown all the time, and take forever to get to there destinations. The best systems are the ones overseas. Public transit in U.S. is a "joke" unless you live in large localities. BRT would be a solution solution, but I just don't like the propoganda used to downsize other forms of transportation.

@agardebring actually, the way it works is like an accordion. bunching @ stations and spreading out on the road. and they don't run @ 7 seconds. They just can. 30 seconds to a minute is more like it.
and i'm sorry i generalized about rail.
On the MN hiawatha line, they need to run 6 minutes apart.

actually it's not, it really helped in those cities and helps redusing CO2 emissions since one vehicle can transport more passengers at once. However I belive it's a cheap provisional solution which will disappear in some 15 to 20 years :)
