context_page_description: Bus rapid transit in New Jersey comprises limited-stop bus service, exclusive bus lanes and bus bypass shoulders. Under the banner Next Generation Bus New Jersey Transit, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and the metropolitan planning organizations of New Jersey which recommend and authorize transportation projects are undertaking the creation of several additional bus rapid transit systems in the state. In 2011, NJT announced that it would equip its entire bus fleet with devices for real-time locating, thus creating the basis for "next bus" scheduling information at bus shelters. The introduction and expanded use of bus rapid transit in Garden State is part of worldwide phenomenon to bring mass transit to heavily trafficked corridors in both high and medium density areas as a cost-saving, and sometimes more flexible, alternative to rail transportation, thus reducing automobile dependency and traffic congestion.
context_section_description: New Brunswick lies at the heart of Central Jersey and is a key transit hub for the region. The city is served by Amtrak and NJT on the Northeast Corridor, several NJT intrastate bus routes 800 series, the extensive Rutgers Campus bus network, the MCAT shuttle system, DASH buses, Brunsquick shuttles and NYC bound Suburban Trails buses.
  The hub of the New Brunswick BRT system would be New Brunswick Station in the city's central business district. It is located near the intersection of Route 18 and Route 27 which would function as the two major corridors for bus network that would connect downtown, residential neighborhoods, the five campuses of Rutgers University in the city and adjacent Piscataway, proximate communities, as well as to the proposed Route One BRT system.
