Le Mobilien: Parisian Bus Rapid Transit

29 September 2008 - 2:00pm

Paris has invested big in Le Mobilien, its version of Bus Rapid Transit. Streetsblog has a short video profiling the system.

"Le Mobilien features curbside and onboard bus arrival info, mid-street boarding kiosks, a swipe-card payment system, and -- perhaps most crucial to its success -- lanes that are physically separated from car traffic."
