Bus Rapid Transit "creep"
Posted by ronrunner on Monday, June 21, 2021 7:11 PM

Rode Cleveland RTA Silver Health Line to Cleveland Clinic in - No all door boarding,have to pay up front, no signal priority and roadway is falling apart. 200 million for what? Same goes with Cleveland State line as Lakewood refused to tow cars in bus lanes. Only city that did Bus Rapid Transit Right in USA is Pittsburgh with dedicated roadways and 3 and 1/2 lines.

I don't know about elsewhere but counterflow lanes on paired one-way streets are used in San Juan PR and timekeeping was fairly good when Lynn and I were on vacation there.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Do the Cleveland an/or Pittsbugh bus rapid-transit stations have the level-boarding characteristics, almost like elevator doors, that LRT usually provides?
