AC Transit has proposed a Bus Rapid Transit line connecting Berkeley, Oakland, and San Leandro, featuring:
1. Dedicated bus lanes
2. Transit signal priority
3. Bus service operating at 3.6 to 5.0 minute headways (time between buses) during peak periods
4. Stations spaced 1/4 to 1/2 mile apart (wider than local buses, comparable to light rail service)
5. Pre-paid ticketing and proof of payment fare verification and enforcement
6. Shelters, boarding platforms, benches, security features, fare machines, and real time bus arrival information.
Where (in Berkeley)?: Telegraph Avenue (from Oakland border to Sproul Plaza); Shattuck Avenue between Bancroft and University Avenue. Route options between Telegraph and Shattuck described below.
UC Berkeley is in the process of commenting on this proposal, and preliminary comments are included in this post.
