Scott Redd<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://urbanists.social/@jackissocool" class="u-url mention">@<span>jackissocool</span></a></span> My city, <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Omaha" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Omaha</span></a>, launched a <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BRT</span></a> two years ago. They changed the name slightly to make it a catchy, pronounceable word: <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ORBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ORBT</span></a> (like Orbit). </p><p>At the moment, it’s a single route that runs east/west across the town, but the authority hope to implement a north/south route in the future. </p><p>Personally, I’m a fan. Check the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ORBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ORBT</span></a> hashtag for a photo.</p>

Scott Redd<p>Two years ago, <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Omaha" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Omaha</span></a> began running <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ORBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ORBT</span></a> (pronounced like orbit), which is Omaha Rapid Bus Transit, or <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BusRapidTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BusRapidTransit</span></a> (<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BRT</span></a>) for the rest of the world. </p><p>While I can&#39;t quite call it a game changer just yet, it was a huge leap forward for <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/PublicTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PublicTransit</span></a> in our city.</p><p>Do you ride ORBT, or something similar where you live?</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Bus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bus</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/RideTheBus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RideTheBus</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OMetro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OMetro</span></a></p>
