Shaping the future of Bus Rapid Transit

VIA is bringing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to the San Antonio area. Not since we first started service 30 years ago has VIA introduced such a significant and distinctive transit option for our community.

BRT uses rubber-tire, high capacity vehicles; improved fare collection systems, and controlled traffic signals to move riders more efficiently. Boarding will take place at stations rather than bus stops. In the end, riders using this premier transit service will get to their destinations faster.

The BRT line, scheduled to launch in 2012, will be along Fredericksburg Road traveling from the University of Texas at San Antonio 1604 campus to the South Texas Medical Center and on to downtown San Antonio. This line will change the face of the Fredericksburg Road corridor by offering opportunities for transit-oriented development.

BRT is a new concept for our city. We encourage everyone in the community to learn about the project and get involved. Help us shape the future of Bus Rapid Transit.
