Bus Rapid Transit
BRT is a bus service that has a more modern look than a conventional bus, runs every 7.5 to 15 minutes and controls traffic signals to reduce travel time. BRT has frequent stops. BRT stations include upgrades such as lighting, benches, signs and announcements so riders know when the next bus is arriving. Buses could run until midnight on weekdays and 10 p.m. on weekends.
