Rapid ride is getting closer!

And for those of you who’ve forgotten, bus rapid transit should be a vast improvement because:

1. There should be dedicated bus lanes for buses only.

2. Buses should load and unload at ground level allowing for faster on/off.

3. Riders should pay before entering the bus at the bus stop.

Who knows what metro will actually end up doing, but they are promising buses every 10 minutes during peak hours.
