Why BRT?

Over the next 20 years, the San Bernardino area population is expected to grow by more than 1 million, and alternative transportation will become even more essential in order to keep everyone moving. To accommodate such growth, Omnitrans studied many options to enhance its level of service. BRT made the most sense—it combines the cost-effectiveness of premium bus service with a rider experience similar to that of a light-rail or subway service.
