Curitiba (BRT system)

Curitiba's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is an efficient public transportation network designed to move people quickly across the city. It uses dedicated bus lanes separated from regular traffic, enabling buses to reduce travel time and avoid congestion. Stations are well-organized, with pre-paid fare systems for faster boarding. The system integrates route planning with urban development, encouraging density around transit corridors. By prioritizing buses over cars, Curitiba's BRT reduces pollution and traffic jams, exemplifying sustainable urban transit. Its success has influenced similar systems worldwide, making it a model for affordable, effective mass transit.
