BRT for Orange County

Here's what I'd like to see.

1. Major streets with four or more lanes should have their left most lanes reserved for buses only.
2. Stations
a. Center islands would serve as stations, with ticket/pass machines. No fare collection on buses
b. LCD monitor showing time of next arrival along with a map showing current bus locations.
c. Stations would be limited, perhaps every mile or two and placed at major intersections with crossing BRT lines.
3. Buses
a. Electrically powered (overhead catenary wires) articulated buses, possibly double articulated. read more→
