Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a public transport system that uses buses in order to provide a faster and more efficient service than that of the ordinary bus line or other mode of transportation. This is done through improving the vehicles, existing infrastructure and the scheduling of trips and stops.
The goal of the Bus Rapid Transit system or BRT is to have the quality of a rail transportation system, but with the savings and flexibility of a bus transit system retained.
