🚌 Roma ha stanziato 500 mila euro per avviare lo studio di fattibilità del BRT EUR Fermi-Lido Centro. Il progetto punta a creare un collegamento rapido sull’asse della Cristoforo Colombo, ma il finanziamento riguarda ancora la fase progettuale e non la realizzazione dell’infrastruttura. #BRT

Roma ha stanziato 500mila euro per lo studio di fattibilità del BRT tra EUR Fermi e Lido Centro, lungo la Colombo. L’ipotesi prevede bus elettrici ogni 5 minuti e una capacità di circa 4.000 passeggeri per direzione. Il finanziamento riguarda però solo la progettazione: per realizzare l’opera serviranno ulteriori risorse. #BRT #Roma

@ianrbuck The wild part to me is that it looks like a fairly high traffic road next to the building, so I assume there would be a decent amount of noise and disturbance from that. I can't imagine how an occasional bus would be better than consistent road noise + accidents.

🇸🇬 Singapore's Land #Transport Authority (LTA) is studying the feasibility of introducing a Bus Rapid #Transit (BRT) system in Tuas South to improve public transport links for workers travelling to existing and future MRT stations. The area, which includes Tuas Port, is expected to see continued growth in businesses, jobs and commuter demand. BRT is a medium-capacity transport mode that bridges the gap between conventional #buses and the MRT. Operating mainly on dedicated lanes with traffic signal priority, it can provide faster, more reliable journeys while requiring less infrastructure than rail systems. LTA said #BRT could be a cost-effective and flexible option for medium-density areas such as Tuas South. It will assess different BRT technologies and evaluate their costs, benefits and long-term suitability before deciding whether to proceed.

Hey Everyone, after taking the week off to dedicate my limited free-time to editing it. I finally finished the 50 Subscriber special video (it was streamed about 5 months ago) and I am excited to share it with you all.
So here it is, "Dingus Does the CTA". Where I mess with the CTA and make a dream map for it.

I gloomily suspect #masstransit in the #Denver #metro area is in a death spiral. Sure, cutting service will save money in the short term. But it will make the whole system less useful, reducing ridership, requiring more cuts ... you know the rest.

Maybe, just maybe, the counties and municipalities in #RTD's service area could talk about cost-sharing arrangements? There may be nothing more effective at improving the economy and quality of life across the entire region than an affordable and reliable public transportation system.
Of course, that would require a focus on maintaining and improving the system we have, instead of vanity projects like the oxymoronic "bus rapid transit" (#BRT) line along #Colfax. Silly me.

An NFL team is moving back to D.C. Its fans will need #transit to get to the games. D.C.’s buses are already full, so they will need something bigger and better. A transportation planner’s proposal: Let’s make rapid bus transit really work … starting, he says, by placing bus lanes in the middle of the street. https://ggwash.org/view/97026/x-principles-for-whatever-comes-after-streetcar #BRT

Perfect is the enemy of the good: Denver Mayor Johnston says that, like any responsible leader, he learns from experience. And building a major bus rapid transit line has taught him that the cost of providing maximum efficiency for #BRT was not worth the price of business and public support. Oh, and literally, the financial cost. https://denverite.com/2026/05/22/denver-mayor-mike-johnston-interview-brt-homelessness-police/

New things are easy to oppose because … well, they are untried. Take bus rapid transit. If you don’t have #BRT, any bad outcome can be imagined. It is why you should finish one new thing and invite people to experience it before starting a second. Denver is building one BRT line and wants to build another. Why not wait? https://denverite.com/2026/05/14/colorado-boulevard-brt-plan/

The appeal of bus rapid transit is that it is quicker and cheaper to build than rail #transit. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. As we see in Denver, this is because #BRT often requires rethinking how a busy road works. Meanwhile, businesses along the way must cope with lengthy road closures. https://denverite.com/2026/05/06/colfax-bus-construction-update/

Construction progress on the MARTA Rapid A line: cameras, fare validators, and call boxes are working at shelters that are open for use. Electronic screens are powered up, awaiting to display travel information.

🚌💨 No new blog this week, but here’s one from the archive on Montreal’s BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) line.
Hard to believe it’s been in operation for nearly three years! It should have been a tram or a metro line, but it’s better than nothing.

The fundamental flaw of adding #BRT in #Fairfax County is that County transportation planners are forcing everybody to retain the same number of traffic lanes for regular ol' gas-guzzling cars, rather than letting space be divested from cars and invested in public transit.

J’ai testé le #TZen4 avec @nini l’autre jour.
Aurait-ce pu être un tramway plutôt qu’un #bus ? Il y a quelques points sur le tracé qui auraient été très compliqués à réaménager.
En tout cas, les Van Hool ExquiCity 24 de cette ligne sont confortables et silencieux, car 100% électriques. Le nôtre a dû faire un détour de plusieurs kilomètres pour desservir l’arrêt suivant à cause d’une manifestation, prouvant qu’ils ont bien assez d’autonomie pour gérer des cas exceptionnels.

Hiked the west end of the Border Route Trail along the GunFlint this morning. Saw two gray wolves coming out of the trees on the way to the trailhead. Did the loop to Magnetic Rock in warm sunshine. Wonderful day for a walk. #brt #borderroutetrail #northcountrytrail #MNastodon

🚌🇵🇹 CaetanoBus is leading the world’s first #hydrogen Bus Rapid #Transit (BRT) consortium headed by a bus manufacturer, marking its shift from vehicle producer to #mobility solutions provider. The project supports the launch of #Metro do Porto’s first hydrogen-powered #BRT corridor in Porto.
Under a single-contract model, CaetanoBus coordinated vehicle supply, green hydrogen production, refuelling infrastructure, solar energy generation, depot energy management and long-term maintenance. The system includes 12 H2.CityGold 18-metre #buses using #Toyota fuel cell #technology.
The integrated structure centralises accountability, aiming to improve reliability, reduce complexity and lower total cost of ownership. CaetanoBus plans to expand the model with a pay-per-use offer, enabling operators to access fleet and energy infrastructure on a per-kilometre basis, reducing upfront capital costs.
