HOW WILL IT BE FAST?

• Traffic engineering improvements to help the bus move quickly along its route:

  • Queue jumping gives the bus a little head start at busy intersections by giving the bus an early green light
  • Stop locations – placed further apart than the norm, allowing for faster travel
  • Free means no fare box, so boarding is faster
