Ticket Validator Boost Bus Rapid Transport System

Overcrowding, a common challenge faced by megacities across the world, which negatively impacts transportation facilities. Even commuters wake up early in the morning, they will still meet a large crowd at the bus stop and might also get stuck in traffic. In Nigeria, Lagos is a perfect example of such.

Against the backdrop, governments and individuals have tried hard to lighten the burden of commuters by providing large-capacity vehicles to reduce the number of cars on the roads—for instance, the Lagos State Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.

What is Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System?

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a high-quality bus transit system that delivers fast, comfortable, and cost-effective services at metro-level capacities. That includes dedicated lanes, busways, traffic signal priority, off-board fare collection, elevated platforms and enhanced stations. As it contains features similar to a light rail or subway system, BRT is conducive to avoid delays that can slow down regular bus services, like being stuck in traffic and queuing to pay.

One of these alternatives is the so-called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. Invented in Latin America and since then spread all over the world, BRTs have particular relevance for fiscally constrained, developing nations because of their relatively modest cost but also their dramatic benefits in terms of urban mobility and air pollution reduction. Why Bus Rapid Transit Is Needed In Sustainable Transportation Development?
