Guided bus

Common card · No. 317541

Guided buses are buses capable of being steered by external means, usually on a dedicated track or roll way that excludes other traffic, permitting the maintenance of schedules even during rush hours. Unlike railbuses, trolleybuses or rubber-tyred trams, guided buses are able to share road space with general traffic along conventional roads for part of their routes, or with buses on standard bus lanes. Guidance systems can be physical (such as kerbs or guide bars) or remote (such as optical or radio guidance). A guided bus line can be categorised as bus rapid transit, and may be articulated and bi-articulated, allowing more passengers; however, not as many as light rail or trams, which are not constrained to a regulated maximum size in order to freely navigate public roads.
