Super–BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)

Overview

Enable metro-level S-BRT service through priority signals and safety management.

Advanced trunk rapid transit system (S-BRT) introduced by the Metropolitan Transport Commission.

Current BRT operates at median bus-lane level with discontinuous dedicated lanes.

Intersection signal waiting and station capacity limits cause bottlenecks and poor punctuality.

S-BRT standard guideline and pilot projects are needed to address BRT operational issues.

Priority signal and safety management technology supports S-BRT dedicated vehicles and operations.

Core Competencies

Purpose
Priority signal and safety management technology enabling metro-level S-BRT operations.

Bidirectional Electric Articulated Bus

Dual-door articulated EV for median BRT stations.

Integrated priority control linking corridor signals and central control.

Station enclosure and pedestrian protection for safer boarding/alighting.

Fast boarding with non-contact payment and service integration.

Expected Benefits

Metro-level punctuality and reduced travel time.
Higher cost-effectiveness via lower construction and O&M costs than trams.
Improved safety and contribution to carbon neutrality based on S-BRT dedicated technologies.
