摘要：	Federal Transit Administration vision for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Service reflects the FTA desire to change Americas mind about transit. An important ingredient of this change is making transit a more desirable choice in American communities. The FTA strives toward a public transit goal of increasing transit ridership. Its successes to date shows that BRT can share a significant place in public transit overall. The bus vehicles are an important element of BRT in promoting public transportation system improvements, realizing economic and environmental benefits. Local communities must ultimately decide which BRT components meet their needs. Well-organized bus routes and good land use planning are important and go hand-in-hand. Reducing actual and perceived travel time by transit is an essential element in attracting new riders, along with clear customer information, easy and safe access to stops, as well as clean and comfortable places to wait for transit. Having service that is both frequent and reliable throughout the day means reduced waiting times, which makes short trips by transit more attractive. Many American Communities deploying Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) are endeavoring to raise the level, the quality, and the image of the bus. As a result, the bus design, appearance, and amenities are changing. The information contained in this document provides a sampling of the vehicles designs that are being deployed worldwide for BRT service applications.
