Editing Bus rapid transit (section)

== Reasons for use ==
Compared to other common transit modes such as [[light rail transit]] (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT) [[Public transport bus service|service]] is attractive to transit authorities because it does not cost as much to establish and operate: no [[Track (rail transport)|track]] needs to be laid, bus drivers typically require less training and less pay than rail operators, and bus maintenance is less complex than rail maintenance.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}

Moreover, buses are more flexible than rail vehicles, because a bus route can be altered, either temporarily or permanently, to meet changing demand or contend with adverse road conditions with comparatively little investment of resources.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fjellstrom |first1=Karl |title=Mass Transit Options, 4.4:Flexibility |website=www.gtz.de |url=https://sutp.org/download/8100/?tmstv=1676136996 |publisher=Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit |access-date=24 February 2023}}</ref>
