After 40 years, Bus Rapid Transit has redefined Madison
"There were 31 new stations constructed for the BRT, according to Cechvala. Stations are equipped with benches, heaters and overhead covering. Each contains a farebox where riders can reload their cards with cash, and real time tracking to give minute-by-minute updates on when passengers can expect the buses to arrive. They’re also raised off the ground"

Bus Rapid Transit rolls out in Madison
Dedicated bus lanes, heated stations, and prepayment seem to make this an attractive option.
"Rapid Route A runs in two directions from Sun Prairie to Junction Road on Madison’s west side. It’s supposed to run every 15 minutes Monday through Saturday and every 30 minutes on Sundays and holidays."
