Alternatives Under Consideration
![Page 10: Van Nuys Corridor Rapidway (Oct 2011 PowerPoint)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55691c26d8b42aa8138b4c73/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Alternatives Under Consideration
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)• Exclusive Right of Way, but can operate in
.mixed-flow traffic• Clean fuel (CNG) power• Up to 100 passengers per bus• Can share existing maintenance facilities• Similar to Metro Orange and Silver Lines
![Page 11: Van Nuys Corridor Rapidway (Oct 2011 PowerPoint)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55691c26d8b42aa8138b4c73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alternatives Under Consideration
Light Rail Transit (LRT)• Exclusive Right of Way• Overhead electrical power• Up to 335 passengers per two car train set • Typically one mile station spacing• Would require a new maintenance facility • Similar to Metro Blue, Green, and Gold Lines
![Page 12: Van Nuys Corridor Rapidway (Oct 2011 PowerPoint)](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55691c26d8b42aa8138b4c73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Alternatives Under Consideration
Street Car • Typically Exclusive Right of Way • Overhead electrical power• Up to 140 passengers per car• Station stops generally more frequent • Would require a new maintenance facility• Similar to Portland, Oregon
