Montreal, Quebec | (STM BRT), The SRB (Service rapide par bus) Pie-IX is currently under construction on Pie-IX Boulevard, with dedicated right of way and station-like stops, including indoor transfer to a metro station also under construction. Other lines have preferential traffic signals and dedicated lanes. [104] |
Mississauga, Ontario | MiWay's Mississauga Transitway |
Ottawa | OC Transpo Transitway is one of North America's largest BRT systems, with over 200,000 passengers daily and peak capacities of 10,000 passengers per hour per direction. Most sections of the Transitway have a speed limit of 70–90 km/h (43–56 mph) between stations and 50 km/h (31 mph) in station areas. Many routes converge at the Transitway, providing frequent service. |
Quebec City | Réseau de transport de la Capitale's Métrobus has four BRT routes throughout the city: routes 800, 801, 802, 803, 804 and 807 |
Saint John, New Brunswick | Saint John Transit's three ComeX (Community Express) routes link Grand Bay-Westfield, Rothesay, Quispamsis and Hampton to uptown Saint John. The fare is higher than the conventional Saint John Transit. |
Saskatoon | Saskatoon Transit had four DART (Direct Access Rapid Transit) routes which connected downtown Saskatoon, Confederation Mall, The Centre, the University of Saskatchewan, The Mall at Lawson Heights, University Heights Suburban Centre and the Saskatchewan Polytechnical Institute campus. The service was expanded to a greater set of suburban connector routes, but rebranded into STS's regularly scheduled service. (e.g. 81, 82, 83, 84, and 86 serving outgoing routes, and are all consolidated as 8 when returning to the downtown terminal after serving their respective neighbourhoods.) |
Toronto | Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) formerly operated the BRT route, 196 York University Rocket on the York University Busway. Although it has been successful, the TTC planned to close the BRT route once the extension to Line 1 of the Toronto subway was completed. [105] Following completion of the subway extension, the small portion near York University was closed and turned back to the university, whereas the just under 2 km section between Finch West station and Dufferin Street remains in operation. The busway is still used by a handful of routes. Elsewhere, dedicated bus lanes are starting to be installed on city roadways, starting with Eglinton Avenue East, Kingston Road and Morningside Avenue in 2020. Jane Street is being planned through 2021, with three additional corridors (Dufferin, Steeles West and Finch East) to be designed afterwards. A sixth corridor (Lawrence East) is in consideration. [106] |
Vancouver | TransLink's RapidBus started in 2020 as a successor to its B-Lines, with more passenger features and amenities. The 99 B-Line is the last remaining B-Line route and has been successful, but TransLink estimates that its SkyTrain costs about $0.75 per ride compared to $1.04-$2.22 for its BRT routes. Two B-Line routes have been replaced by rapid-transit lines; the 98 B-Line was replaced with the Canada Line in 2009 and the 97 B-Line by the Evergreen Extension in 2016. Another two B-Lines, the 95 and 96, were replaced with RapidBus routes, the R5 and R1 respectively. Along with the two upgraded B-Lines, there are also three other RapidBus routes, R2, the R3 and R4. A sixth route, the R6, is the most recent expansion, having opened in January 2024. |
Victoria, British Columbia | Victoria Regional Transit System's Blink RapidBus service started in 2023, providing faster and more frequent service on an existing bus corridor using bus priority lanes. [107] The service has its own branding with larger and differently colored bus shelters. |
Waterloo Region, Ontario | Grand River Transit's iXpress has two routes, one of which (Route 200) has been converted to the ION light rail. [108] |
Winnipeg | Winnipeg Transit's Winnipeg RT operates similarly to Ottawa's, with dedicated lanes outside the downtown core and HOV lanes within it. The first phase connects downtown with Fort Rouge, with current routes servicing the University of Manitoba along Pembina Highway and a few suburban communities in the south-west. It will be eventually extended to Bison Drive. [109] |
York Region, Ontario (suburban Toronto) | York Region Transit's Viva began service in 2005. In response to escalating congestion on the region's roads, the region's transit plan included a provision for a BRT system along the Yonge Street and Highway 7 arterial corridors. [110] Most of the system does not contain transit-priority measures, other than an honor system of fare payment. However, construction is underway on dedicated busways, and the first segment opened on March 6, 2011. [111] |

Bogotá's segregated, four-lane TransMilenio system has a maximum peak-load capacity of 45,000 passengers per hour per direction (pphpd) on its busiest line. [133] The system uses modular median stations that serve both directions and enable prepaid, multiple-door, level boarding. [133] The average stop time is 24 seconds. Trunk-line terminals have integrated bicycle parking; the fare card opens a gate to a secure bicycle parking area. Two lanes in each direction permit "Quickways" (local service on the inside lane combined with express service, skipping four or five stations at a time). [134] TransMilenio was described as a "model BRT system" in the National Bus Rapid Transit Institute's May 2006 report. It serves Bogotá with high-capacity, articulated, three-door buses. Bi-articulated buses are used on the busiest routes, and a smart card system is used for fare collection. Despite its large capacity, Transmilenio had problems with overcrowding. [135]
