>>1203654>As a bus proponent and BRT skeptic, I only consider BRT with (near-)total grade separation as "proper" or full-BRT.Basically, the main point is to have a large portion of the "Glider" network run in bus lanes with a kerb which would physically prevent cars from turning into the bus lanes. However, these bus lanes will still be bus lanes, and regular busses, certain registered taxis, motorcycles and bicycles will be allowed into these bus lanes as if they were normal bus lanes. The "Glider" will also use mixed traffic roads where bus lanes are impractical to implement, or otherwise impossible (i.e. a road widening would be necessary, which itself would require the demolition of several buildings).
That all said, the "Glider" looks more like a bendy bus service running in bus lanes with ticketing done off-board...
Here is the government's document on it:
