BRT Standard

The BRT Standard is a set of guidelines used to evaluate and improve Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, which are public bus networks designed for fast, efficient, and reliable transit. It assesses key features like dedicated lanes, stations, vehicle quality, and service frequency. The standard helps cities plan and design BRT corridors that offer high-quality bus service, comparable to rail transit, by ensuring consistent infrastructure, convenient stops, and efficient operation. Ultimately, it aims to create sustainable, accessible, and user-friendly transit options that encourage people to choose buses over private cars.
