The Glider Network should demonstrate, in my view, the alternative potential configuration of BRT to that offered by the Leigh and Cambridgeshire guided busways. Not high specification double-deckers running on longer routes from outlying suburban residential areas with comfy spacious seating; but shorter routes within the urban area itself, running slower, but with provision for rapid boarding and alighting, with the majority of riders standing.
Articulated buses with three doors; 44 seats and 61 standing spaces.
Most of the route along dedicated bus lanes (also available to be used by standard buses).
Stops at approx 400 m intervals
Frequency at 8 per hour throughout the day.
Speeds not stated; but likely limited to 50 kmh; because of the high proportion of standing passengers.
