message: Under this heading, four features are identified, but with no indication of provenance:
* Level boarding, low floor access and adapted bus stops — I'm fairly sure that on any new builds (such as the Bay area) or renewal work (such as the city centre) this is required by law under the Disability Discrimination Act.  Any evidence to the contrary?  Answers should include a reference to "bus rapid transit" somewhere.
* High frequency of up to every five minutes throughout the day — Services 27, 28 and 29 have provided a composite service frequency of 10 per hour during daytime for a number of years.  Certainly was the case when I was working afternoons in Llanishen.  I did have some printed timetables for those routes from 2004-2005 somewhere, though I suspect I've thrown them out.
* Right of way, bus lanes and bus only streets — From what I heard, St. Mary Street was closed for reasons of safety and congestion, with a view to improving the punctuality of all bus services operating that way, rather than for any specific "bus rapid transit" scheme.
* Tram-like low emission vehicles — Low-emission vehicles have been operating in the area for a few years.  I suspect they were first used on service 30 to Newport.  I challenge the notion that the new fleet (especially the Capital Green buses) are somehow "tram-like".
All of this leads me to the conclusion that other editors above have reached, namely that this isn't really "bus rapid transit".  I'm willing to change my mind if presented with some reliable sources to back this up.  81.110.106.169 (talk) 14:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Bus Rapid Transit"? 

message: I have put the image of the Headquarters back into the article as Wikipedians should not be interested in "...best represent(ing) the company (Cardiff Bus)".  From WP:SOAP, "Articles about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style."...this would include images too.  The headquarters of Cardiff Bus is the only property that the company owns itself, therefore it is important to have it in the article.  The company has its own website for them to "best represent the company".
Please comment below, I propose Include.  Seth Whales (talk) 09:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a seriously poor picture, and adds absolutely nothing to the article, therefore should be removed per the image policy. MickMacNee (talk) 12:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I Agree. Airline pages show images of their aircraft rather than their head office or a hangar. Bus companies should follow suit. Welshleprechaun (talk) 22:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is missing information on how they calculate how much you pay.  Is it a set price to go anywhere in the system?  Do they calculate how far you've gone and make you pay for the exact distance?  Do they make you pay extra when crossing certain boundaries?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.155.231 (talk) 15:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
