Imagine a bus system that is neighborhood-friendly, and also cost-, energy-, and time-efficient. Curitiba's got it.

Why It Works
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is a new, highly efficient mode of public transportation that has recently been adopted in Curitiba, a city of some
1.7 million people. In most instances, BRT buses are a faster mode of transportation than private automobiles. The organizational, structural, and
technological advances of the BRT system are the main factors in increasing efficiency and speed of buses. Traffic lights are delayed for oncoming
buses, decreasing the amount of time between stops. A computer chip inside the bus signals sensors on the road, which then alert the passengers at
the next station if the bus is running on time. In addition, fares are pre-paid, reducing waiting at bus stops, and waiting platforms are elevated to allow
for quicker entry and exit to the bus. Finally, the busses have their own lanes, which keep the bus system independent of congested traffic.
What Makes Curitiba Bus Rapid Transit System a Great Place?
BRT routes are perfectly plotted into rings, with each ring expanding further into the outer reaches of the city. Busses are color
coordinated to make it easy for riders to distinguish between different rings/routes. This pattern allows for uniform bus routes and
locations for bus stops throughout the city. Curitiba is a great example of efficiency of the BRT system, as embarking and
Busses are traditionally stereotyped as "lower class," and the BRT system is designed to help eliminate this label. The speed,
reliability, bus stop locations and environmental friendliness of the BRT system have caused many middle- and upper-class
people to begin using it. Over time, BRT will remove the negative image that people have of bus systems, and increase the use
of public transportation.
The Bus Rapid Transit system is the most widely used form of transportation in Curitiba, used by approximately 75% of travelers.
Transit systems should also be evaluated according to their impact on both the local community and economy. Public spaces
where people come together are areas where local businesses and entrepreneurship thrive. BRT stops can function as
destination points for commercial activities such as shopping and social activities, and as catalysts for building and rebuilding surrounding communities
and business sectors.
The reliability, organization, safety, and quickness of the BRT system is changing the stereotype of bus systems being "lower
class." Cities where the system has been implemented have experienced high ridership rates from all socioeconomic classes.

"The Biarticulated Buses and its dedicated lanes are like an above ground subway system," said Ar
Ceneviva, "with the advantage of lower installation cost per square kilometer." For example, it costs
million per square kilometer to install a subway system versus US$ 3 to 8 million, depending on stre
development, to install the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The BRT is a less expensive solution a
