In response to the ever increasing demand for faster service along the Las Vegas Valley's busiest roads, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has launched the beginning of the rapid transit system that connects downtown Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Strip, Henderson and North Las Vegas.
The bus rapid transit system will be RTC's showcase transportation initiative for the Las Vegas Valley. Every aspect of bus rapid transit function and design will challenge what riders think about mass transit.
The sleek bullet-shaped vehicles travel in dedicated lanes where possible with less frequent stops than fixed-route transit, enabling the service to change routes based on traffic patterns and move passengers longer distances in a shorter time period than fixed-route bus service. Paralleling Las Vegas’ world-class attractions, the bus rapid transit system will be a seamless network of links throughout the Valley to various connection points of other transportation lines with more frequent stops and will have many rail-like features such as level platform boarding and multiple doors for easy loading. Riders will wait at new, comfortable, and modern shelters that will compliment the bus rapid transit experience. To help reduce wait times, you will be able to purchase a
transit pass before boarding the vehicle. The bus rapid transit system has the appearance and feel of a light rail transit network at a considerably lower cost.
The first step toward the future of rapid transit in Southern Nevada is phase one construction of the Gold Line. This state-of-the-art system provides a convenient option for both residents and tourists between the resort corridor and downtown Las Vegas while also providing service to the Fremont Street Experience, World Market Center, Clark County Government Center and the Las Vegas Premium Outlet Mall.
