When it is complete, the BRT will feature limited stops, off-board fare collection, priority signaling, Wi-Fi, and level-boarding through all doors to provide a faster ride. Stations will have real-time travel information. The open houses will highlight how the BRT may provide residents and commuters an easier, faster, more reliable, and less stressful way to travel.
