In addition, these improvements will address operational issues related to travel time and improvements to passenger amenities on the EmX system.
INCREASED COVERAGE
FASTER TRIPS
INCREASED SAFETY
Dedicated StationsAll EmX Stations are equipped with comfortable covered shelters, have a fare machine, use functional art, are pedestrian friendly and most feature real-time arrival information.
Frequent Service
Ten-to fifteen-minute service on weekdays and 15 to 30 minute service on evenings and weekends.
Smooth Boarding
Passengers can easily board the EmX as the station platforms are the same height as the bus. If needed, a wheelchair ramp will be deployed to assist with mobility devices.
Priority in Traffic
Bus-only lanes and signals that allow buses to travel ahead of car traffic create faster travel times.
