Talk:Criticism of bus rapid transit

At present, this article is decorated with a photo of a Turkish BRT system operating in a dedicated right-of-way. While a nice photo, it illustrates the exact opposite of what this article is supposed to be about. I looked at every single photo in Commons for the MBTA Silver Line, and couldn't find a single one that reflects the traffic-bound day-to-day reality of the Washington Street service. If I have time, I will search for some other systems rated "Not BRT" by the ITDP. Can anybody find or upload a photo of real-world low-quality BRT service stuck in traffic?

Good request. I went ahead and fixed this by swapping the old media for a picture of an SBS bus in New York. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betsyears (talk • contribs) 10:58, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

On Sep. 6, 2015, I removed an un-cited and dubious "surface subway" reference after a "by whom" tag was ignored for 11 months. If citing a reliable source, feel free to add this back in. Drabconcert (talk) 8:44, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

The current title of this page "Criticism of bus rapid transit" doesn't appear to match the article's content, which focuses more on "BRT Creep" or the criticism of bus rapid transit being scaled back. If the purpose of the article is to cover the numerous critiques of BRT, such as the "light or heavy rail should've been built instead" line, the article could be expanded. If the article's scope is to remain focused on "BRT Creep," I propose calling it something like HPTbjk's suggestion "Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Standard Non-Compliance" Editor's thoughts are appreciated Daisy does Stuff (talk) 22:47, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Perhaps expanding the article is in order but changing its name in the interim period to reflect the content might also work HPTbjk, (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
