	The Purple Line — Maryland Transit Administration
		The new Secretary of Transportation for Maryland, John Porcari, restored the project to its former name, the Purple Line, rather than the Bi-County Transitway.
		While the Bi-County Transitway name reflected the two-county area of the proposed project, the Purple Line was the original name for the project and has continued to be used by most people.
		The project study has not changed, and the Purple Line continues to be a high transportation priority.

	Print Article: Buses not feeding into transitway
		The former minister, Carl Scully, intended the transitway to have a main service running between Liverpool and Parramatta, express services moving on and off it during their journeys, and feeder services meeting the main route.
		The transitway passes through the contract areas of several private bus operators, some of which might already be bringing in passengers.
		A spokeswoman for the transitway developer said the trunk route was always meant to start before subsidiary services.

	PB Network \| Issue 56 \| Auckland: Putting Operational Priorities Into Transit Infrastructure
		Our challenge was to demonstrate to the client the capacity of the transitway and its seven stations and their ability to operate effectively, given a range of future service frequencies, stopping patterns and mixed modal operating conditions.
		Vehicle movements along the transitway were modelled under a range of permissible dwell times at stations to accommodate passenger boarding requirements, acceleration, deceleration, and safe operating protocols at intersections and through transitway stations.
		The relevant transitway blockage count, given a set blockage setting (i.e., the time threshold before the model records a blockage), and the average station dwell time for passenger set-down and pickup are shown in Table 3.

		One gathers that their (unstated) fear is that the presence of transitway buses will only aggravate this problem, and that they would prefer that the buses do not use their street.
		The Transitway wants to go underground between existing buildings to provide at-the-door access, but the hospital is objecting on the ground that the tunnel entrance would cause the loss of parking spaces in the car park.
		The Transitway designers are not in favour of providing parking facilities at Transitway stations for park-and-ride, on the ground that short-distance car journeys would contribute to air pollution.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Harbor Freeway Transitway
		The Harbor Freeway Transitway, or Harbor Transitway, is a BRT line that runs from Downtown Los Angeles to Los Angeles South Bay Area that runs through the carpool lanes of Interstate 110 with stations in the median.
		In the rest of the country, freeway is the usual term; however, the distinction between freeways and expressways is not always as clear or well-understood as it is in California, which has many of both kinds of highway.
		Caltrans built the freeway stations as a key component of the $500-million Harbor Transitway, which was mostly completed in 1996.

	A proper BRT proposition - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		A transitway or busway is an evolving concept, the latest version of which is HOT lanes, or high occupancy/toll.
		The two-lane, reversible HOT transitway would be elevated on pedestals between the first on-ramp at the H-1/H-2 merge near Waikele and the last off-ramp at Pier 16 near Hilo Hattie.
		A single lane of transitway dedicated to buses carries, in practice, twice as many passengers as most rail lines in the United States, and some come close to New York City's busiest line, the 8th Avenue, which carries 43,000 passengers per hour in the peak direction.

	Transitway Threatens Green Corridor
		A natural green corridor along a heritage creek is about to be severely damaged by the construction of the southeast Transitway extension from Billings Bridge to Hunt Club Road.
		Transitway construction will remove four of the creek's meanders, changing the water flow and seriously reducing habitat.
		The first thirty-one kilometres, which include Sawmill Creek, are exempt from the Environmental Assessment Act, which came into effect in the late 1980s, after transitway plans were completed in the early 1980s.

	Ottawa's BRT "Transitway": Modern Miracle or Mega-Mirage?
		The massive construction of the Ottawa Transitway is evident in this 1997 photo, with the 4-lane busway and Greenboro park and ride station in the middle, and the South Keys shopping center in the upper left part of the photo.
		The Transitway has absorbed an increasing portion of the resources that used to serve the streetcar neighbourhoods and commercial streets, as well as the night and weekend services, even in the suburbs.
		For the period 2021, other extensions have been downgraded from grade separated Transitways [busways] to "at grade" (surface) bus lanes, and a regional councillor is pressing to have car pools allowed on these.

	Ottawa Rapid Transit - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The Transitway is one of the most extensive and successful implementations of Bus Rapid Transit; many of the Transitway roads are above or below the grade of normal streets in Ottawa, by the use of overpasses, bridges, and trench highways.
		One trouble spot is in the downtown section of the central Transitway, where the busway consists of a single bus-only lane on each of Albert and Slater Streets (one-way public streets in opposite east and west directions).
		The Transitway routes generally use low floor "accessible" buses, with an aim to improve access to the service by the elderly and handicapped, and to speed up boarding by other passengers; many of these are high-capacity articulated buses.

	”Cliff Slater’s SECOND OPINION
		The transitway offers the possibility of seamless travel from home to work for those using buses and vanpools because these vehicles would access the transitway from local roads and keep going non-stop at 50 mph until the exit.
		Then we come to costs: The transitway is basically a highway and is built on a simple bidding process and requires no special vehicles.
		Allowing $10 million for transitway operating costs, the remaining $47 million is an annual amount that would pay off an $850 million highway purchase over 50 years including interest.

	PB Network \| Issue 49 \| On-Street Priority Transitways: Improving Urban Mobility Using Available Rights-of-Way
		If a new transitway also reduces the number of available traffic lanes, it may result in secondary traffic impacts by diverting traffic to other parallel streets, which may then need to be modified to carry the additional traffic.
		Numerous configurations for transitways within a street right-of-way are possible, including in the center of the roadway, on one side of it, or on both sides of the roadway (Figure 1).
		The design of the transitway itself-including striping, curbs, barriers, landscaping, distinctive paving, signage, lighting, and catenary for light rail transit (LRT) or trolleybus-affects the overall character of the corridor and may have either positive or negative impacts on its surroundings.

	River North Residents Association
		The proposed new transitway would connect the West Loop, including the Union and Ogilvie train stations and the Clinton Street Green Line station, to the River North, North Michigan Avenue, Streeterville, and Navy Pier areas.
		The transitway would be for the exclusive use of public transit vehicles and would have stops/stations along the route for passengers to board/exit approximately every 2-4 blocks.
		Transitway service will be offered every 3 minutes during peak times and every 7 minutes during off-peak times.

	We 'give in' on rail transit - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In addition, because travel is seamless for buses and vanpools on the transitway, these riders would avoid the time loss of transferring from bus to train.
		The transitway is basically a highway and is built on a simple bidding process and requires no special vehicles.
		First, if we fill the available space on the transitway, not occupied by buses and vanpools, with cars paying an electronically collected toll (variable by time of day), then we accomplish two things: We raise enough money to lower local costs, and we get a large number of cars off the regular freeways.

	State transportation planners survey form and route of the Bi-County Transitway
		In those areas, 25 feet must separate the transitway from the CSX tracks, and planners have had to develop alternatives, such as raising the transitway over the tracks, that would preserve the community and be cost-effective.
		The federal contribution to the project is expected to range between 50 percent and 60 percent of the total cost, Flanagan said.
		In one east Silver Spring neighborhood, as well as in the neighborhoods near Riverdale Road and Veterans Parkway, some residents are concerned about what the transitway will mean to their homes and whether the state would have to take some of their property to accommodate it —all factors the state will consider in its analysis.

	Millions lost in transit - National - smh.com.au
		The Liverpool-to-Parramatta transitway was expected to cost $98 million, but plans were changed, and when the busway opened two years ago the costs had blown out to almost $350 million, it was revealed yesterday.
		The transitway was approved by the former minister for transport Carl Scully, who is now overseeing Sydney's $1.3 billion desalination plant.
		The transitway achieved a high level of customer satisfaction and strong growth in patronage, and the chances of it becoming profitable in the medium term were promising, Mr Sendt said.

	Bus-based transitway or light rail? Continuing the saga on choice versus blind commitment - On Line Opinion - 15/10/2000
		Bus-based transitways are often compared with light rail and frequently criticised in favour of light rail on the grounds of their lack of permanence because of the opportunity to convert the right-of-way into a facility for cars and trucks.
		The LPT feasibility study compared light rail with a bus-based transitway and concluded that the bus system was significantly better in delivering higher levels of frequency (typically every three minutes compared to every nine minutes for LRT) with lower incidence of transfers compared to using a feeder bus to connect to light rail.
		Bus-based transitways function as efficient high-volume transport corridors where the operations are adapted from traditional bus practice and where substantial infrastructure investments are made in bus stops, terminals and vehicle types.

	Transit Toronto - Content: The Mississauga Transitway
		Despite 30 years of planning, comprised of at least 18 studies from 1970 to 1992, Mississauga Transit buses are not at this moment whisking passengers along a transit-only corridor parallel to highway 403.
		The last big push for the Transitway came in 1992 when an environmental assessment was completed by the City of Mississauga and the Ministry of Transportation under the Let's Move program.
		The Mississauga Transitway is currently mentioned in the media in relation to a larger Transitway scheme that would parallel a large part of highway 407.
