1, the cost is different. Bus rapid transit platform is equipped with passenger information service system, video monitoring system, broadcasting system, security door system, ticket checking system, etc. These systems increase the complexity and cost of the platform, while the platform of ordinary buses is relatively simple and has low cost.
2. The roads are different. BRT bus has specially set up elevated roads, which are completely independent of ordinary roads and do not overlap with other means of transportation, so the operation efficiency of BRT bus is higher, while ordinary buses use roads used by social vehicles.
3. The platform is closed in different ways. The platform of BRT bus is similar to the city subway. Passengers need to buy tickets first, and then enter the platform through the gate, which is different from the platform of ordinary buses. The latter usually does not close the door, and passengers can pay directly after getting on the bus.
4. Vehicles and passengers are different. BRT buses are usually longer and have more seats than ordinary buses, which can provide more passengers and meet higher passenger demand.
5. The running speed is different. BRT buses usually run faster than ordinary buses, because they use independent elevated roads and do not need to wait for traffic lights, while ordinary buses are limited by the use of roads by social vehicles.
6. Comfort is different. The platform of BRT bus is at the same height as the bus chassis, which is convenient for passengers to get on and off quickly and smoothly. Passengers can obtain the arrival information of vehicles through electronic stop signs, but the comfort of ordinary buses is relatively low.
