K6 Bus Line Improvements

Post date: Oct 23, 2010 3:50:04 PM

If you occasionally take the K6 metrobus you might be interested in some of the upgrades they are considering to this line, which serves 5,800 riders (!) a day. In addition to putting more and newer buses on the route they are considering adding express and local segments, making some traffic light timing changes, and implementing transit signal priority. (That involves a GPS technology that lets traffic lights know if a bus is close, letting that light stay green longer.)
