Description

In order to improve sustainable mobility in urban areas throughout Europe, we observe different strategies, such as in Sweden (The trunk network in Stockholm), in England and in Ireland under the name of “Quality Bus Corridor”, in France (Bus à Haut Niveau de Service “–BHNS), in Germany (metrobus concept), in the Netherlands (HOV – “Hoogwaardig Openbaar Vervoer”), and a lot of other experiments dealt with “High capacity bus systems”.

In order to better understand all these trends and to promote a useful way to enhance the bus image, a COST Action has been decided on this topic and is called:

Buses with a high level of service
