(LET'S LEARN MORE)
WHAT IS BRT?
High-frequency, high capacity bus service that is fully traffic separated.
this is not the same thing as TranLink's RapidBus
(It's confusing, we know...that's why we're breaking it down)
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
physically separated lanes with traffic signal priority
modern stations, prepay & all door boarding with easy access
WHERE WOULD THE BRT SERVICE GO?
Hastings St.
(Upgrade from R5)
King George Blvd
(Surrey to White Rock)
Lougheed Hwy
Scott Road
(Upgrade from R6)
(Upgrade from R3)
Metrotown - Park Royal
(Second Narrows)
Marine Dr Station - 22nd St Station
(Marine Way)
larger, articulated electric buses with customer amenities
Langley - Haney Place
(200 St - Golden Ears - Lougheed Hwy)
Lynn Valley - Downtown / Lonsdale
(Lions Gate)
Richmond Centre - Metrotown
(Knight -Victoria -49th Avenue)
HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST?
$15
million per km
BRT
$400
million per km
SkyTrain
BRT is relatively cheaper than SkyTrain because it can be implemented at street level and requires less construction.
