| 摘要： | During this time of rapidly emerging technologies and high automation deployed on the nation's roadways, the transit world is making one of the most significant impacts to the future of mobility with an old friend - the bus. Over the course of its history, the bus has evolved to meet society's needs as a safe, efficient and affordable mode of mass transport. Now, as the United States prioritizes transforming its mobility landscape, the bus is once again at the center of this paradigm shift in the form of bus rapid transit (BRT) service. BRT is the fastest growing mode of public transportation in the nation that transit agencies are leveraging to deliver high-capacity transit and meet ridership demands sooner and at a lower capital cost than rail transit. BRT projects also create opportunities for equity, accessibility and connectivity for transit-dependent commuters by offering premium transport service for all users. Through the planning,design and construction of a wide variety of premium BRT projects, the industry is shifting the mindset of urban transportation professionals to re-purpose the rights of way and measure success in the quality of experience over the expedient movement of vehicles. |
