caption_attribution_description: English: Hybrid biodiesel-electric bus in service for Curitiba's RIT
context_page_description: Rede Integrada de Transporte is a bus rapid transit system in Curitiba, Brazil, implemented in 1974. It was the second BRT system in the world and a component of one of the first and most successful examples of transit-oriented development.
  Curitiba has a well planned and integrated transportation system, which includes dedicated lanes on major streets for a bus rapid transit system. The buses are long, with 157 bi-articulated and 29 single-articulated vehicles, and stop at designated elevated tube-shaped stations to allow for fare prepayment and platform level boarding, complete with handicapped access. A small ramp folds down from the bus onto the platform so there is no gap to cross to enter or leave the vehicle.
