  • The Maricopa Association of Governments is conducting a Regional Bus Rapid Transit Feasibility Study to explore the interest in and feasibility of implementing BRT in our region. Working in partnership with member agencies, the study will also recommend a preliminary set of locations where a regional BRT network could connect to planned City of Phoenix BRT investments.

      I like trains as much as the next guy, but that can take a long time to build, they are expensive to build, some or most cities don't have the population density to justify a train line/system. I'm getting a new light rail line on the same block I live in, but it won't be completed until 2028 at least, and most likely it will have to obey traffic just like cars instead of having the right of way

      Far too many people balk at the initial costs of rail, but are kept in the dark as far as life cycle costs are concerned. The life cycle costs for rail are MUCH LOWER than bus, even if the bus is electric.

    Brt is a low capacity augmentation to the solution.. we need a larger lrt or metro system to severely reduce congestion

    • @schwenda3727
      @schwenda3727 2 роки тому

      It’s a more immediate-medium term solution than a more costly light rail line… to which the LRT would likely cost significantly more just to STUDY/PLAN & literally find out how much the final product will cost. Much less to build.
      By way of comparison, BRT is primarily new sidewalk/median islands, not all that big of platforms, and some existing road space. An entire BRT line could overwhelmingly likely be COMPLETELY open within 2 construction seasons after everything is planned accordingly, meanwhile, how many YEARS of back & forth does it take in an average city for a light rail line just to be EXTENDED, heaven forbid improving existing facilities…
      Plus, it appears significant expansion of light rail within the Phoenix area is already going accordingly. BRT could be an excellent supplemental/filler service inbetween whatever lines are coming.

      @@schwenda3727 Buses cost MUCH MORE THAN RAIL over the life cycle of existence. Because buses are nothing more or less than AUTOMOBILES of larger sizes and heavier weights than cars, they suffer the same mechanical inefficiencies and tendencies toward failure as cars. The real inefficiency comes with adding air conditioning to the bus with windows that can be opened at will, thus wasting expensive fuel and possibly shortening the life of the entire vehicle.

      @@RR-us2kp Not to also mention that buses are AUTOMOBILES just as any car or truck is, and must fight for the space occupied by other members of the AUTOMOBILE FAMILY….
      Making special efforts to separate buses from other automotive traffic adds another level of expense to bus operations, as an entire division of police will be needed just for traffic control--keeping cars and trucks off of bus-only lanes and busways.
      Furthermore, buses are also heavily supported by the automotive industry, since they’ve always used buses to help them sell cars!

      @@siphesihlegift7409 As far as a train breaking down on the line, it first must break down to the point of immobility, which is technically impossible unless sabotage is considered. Also, buses are AUTOMOBILES, meaning that the costs over an extended time period (the LIFE CYCLE), will me MUCH HIGHER than rail. Ditto for the rails which will need only a cursory maintenance apppication every decade or so.
      Buses destroy the surfaces they roll on, and leave the maintenance costs to the taxpayers! Those surfaces are destroyed virtually every THREE YEARS!
      Now THAT'S a helluva lot of money, most of which would be saved just by constructing RAIL.
