The ownership of BRT buses varies depending on the specific city or region. BRT systems are often publicly owned and operated, with government agencies or municipalities being the primary owners. However, in some cases, private companies may be involved in the operation or management of BRT services under a concession agreement.
Here are some examples:
- New York City: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) owns and operates the BRT system known as Select Bus Service.
- Los Angeles: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) owns and operates the Metro Rapid BRT system.
- Bogota, Colombia: The TransMilenio BRT system is owned and operated by the TransMilenio S.A., a public-private partnership.
It's important to note that the ownership structure of BRT systems can be complex and vary depending on local circumstances.
