This BRT corridor simply beautified Van Ness Ave, it didn’t make the buses run significantly faster. Many features are missing. However, unlike AC Transit’s Tempo which requires specific buses, this simple design on Van Ness Ave simply means any bus can be used on the corridor.

That’s good news for inspiration for our future BRT Translink LETS GO 49ers!!!!!!! Keep it up guys well done

[@Lumpology]

it would be really great if the Vancouver BRT lines had trolley wires

[@transitkidjasonproductions]

They should make this bus😊

You forgot to add context to the viewer as why you are posting these. Which is because your proposing BRT routes. That should been added to this and the AC Transit one.

I was just wondering why didn't they talk about the US$2 billion Central Subway (at US$923 million per mile), while the Broadway Subway is around CA$500 million per KM (if the project doesn't run out of budget again).
BTW, BRT doesn't work without additional infrastructures. They cannot take away 2 lanes from Knight bridge, that is 50% of the current capacity and it is already heavily congested with trucks which cannot be taken away with public transit.

Imagine being the two guys caught on camera using the bus lane at 1:27

[@TravelswithStevevancity]

In NYC buses have cameras that record these interactions and tickets are issued

[@oli_vvk1453]

That was a police car and an ambulance, they have access to the bus lanes

There are corridors in Metro Vancouver where light rail or streetcar would work better than BRT, for example 41st Avenue in Vancouver.
