TransMetro in Guatemala

via
The system of high-speed buses (BRT Bus rapid transit) is implemented in many countries. Usually it is called Metrobus. In Guatemala, this system also has called Transmetro. BRT is often used as an alternative to high-speed tram. They are certainly not as good as the trams, but for lack of a better descend and buses. To make sure Metrobus dedicated lanes, usually in the middle of the road and a platform for passengers. Platforms are erected so as to be flush with the floor of the bus. Payment of travel and all procedures are carried out directly at the station.
The capacity of the line speed of the bus in Guatemala is 9000 passengers per hour, comparable with high-speed tram. During rush hour the Moscow Metro can transfer up to 100 thousand people per hour. Buses run every 5 minutes, only 8 have a length of 95 km route.
