	Bus rapid transit Information - TextSheet.com
		Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a relatively new form of transportation that combines the rapidity of a subway or of light rail transit with the flexibility of buses.
		The bus rapid transit initiative has received a great deal of support from the Federal Transit Administration in the United States, which is cash-strapped and can no longer fund expensive light rail and subway systems.
		The BRT system is based on light-rail transit principles, but instead of the required capital investment in trains and track, it utilizes buses in service that is integrated with key components of the existing automobile transportation infrastructure, such as roads and rights-of-way, intersections, and traffic signals.

	Northern New Jersey: Light Rail's Spectacular Comeback
		Besides the Newark subway facilities already discussed, another of the more impressive features of the former light rail network was the Hoboken El (Elevated), a key rapid transit link between Hoboken, Jersey City, and the Palisades (the high ridge parallelling the west bank of the Hudson River across from the island of Manhattan).
		Already under way is a project to extend the City Subway line one mile (1.6 km), from Penn Station to the Broad St. regional rail station (which currently handles commuter trains on the Morris and Essex and Montclair-Boonton lines) – thus significantly enlarging rail transit interconnectivity in the area.
		Four of the thirteen stations are in the underground subway portion; the remainder of the route operates in open cut or on the surface, and is mostly grade-separated from automobile traffic.
