BRT Works!
BRT’s flexibility is one reason it’s so attractive. Communities can adapt BRT systems to their unique needs, to get the most ridership and economic impact at the lowest cost. This means every BRT system is different — and it’s why we’re working so hard to define the specific solution that’s best for Bergen County. Many people aren’t familiar with BRT in any form, however. So we thought you might like to know how BRT systems are serving communities, riders, and employers throughout the U.S.
Here are some operating examples of BRT in New Jersey and around the region:
New York City Select Bus Service
Other communities around the region are also looking at introducing BRT:
Hudson County – Bayonne/Greenville/Journal Square BRT Study
Suffolk County – Route 110 BRT Study
Westchester County Central Avenue BRT project
Route 1 BRT Central New Jersey
Route 42/55/676 BRT (Southern New Jersey)
