Buses are given priority, enabling them to travel at high speeds. This means fast and comfortable travel, even at peak traffic times. Daimler is committed to BRT solutions as only a reliable and safe public transport system can incentivise people to make the switch from private transport. This is particularly important in larger cities to take the strain off the transport system and therefore to ensure permanent mobility for all sections of the population into the future.

Deploying state-of-the-art engine technology and ensuring that bus traffic flows smoothly without stop-and-go also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. A further advantage for municipal operators is that BRT is cheaper in terms of procurement and maintenance than rail-based concepts and can be integrated into existing infrastructures more easily. This makes BRT a sustainable, future-proof concept that Daimler has already successfully implemented from planning through to introduction and provision with buses in cities including Istanbul, Nantes, Mexico City and Bogotá. Over 16,000 buses by Mercedes-Benz are operating for more than 20 BRT systems around the world - from minibuses to articulated uses.
