METRORapid
A METRONext Moving Forward Plan investment
Looks Like a Bus. Runs Like Rail.
The METRONext Moving Forward Plan includes the introduction of METRORapid, which combines elements of light rail and bus to deliver faster connections and a convenient ride. While others are waiting at a traffic light, METRORapid keeps you moving.
This environmentally-friendly bus rapid transit service features:
- Modern design offering 100% accessibility, with wider doorways and level boarding
- Stations and platforms like rail
- Dedicated, bus-only lane to move through traffic
- Bus-friendly traffic signals
