    Belfast Rapid Transport System

    Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking. £147million being spent on a bendy bus. How is this going to ease congestion? It will use the same roads as the normal bus service, and will be no faster than the normal buses so how is it rapid?

    A BRT is generally an electrified trolley bus type dealy with Luas levels of priority but with more felixibility. A bit more than a bendy bus. Where's your source for your description?

    Rapid Transport System is rather pointless if you have to walk for 15 minutes and wait for another 15 minutes before you get on the Transport. Its very limited in it coverage and a waste of money IMO same thing goes for the Titanic project. Turning industrial land into trendy flats, sorry Apartments.
