a dedicated route or corridor reserved exclusively for public transportation vehicles
What is a "transitway"?
A transitway is a special lane or route reserved for public transportation vehicles, such as buses or light rail, to travel more efficiently and avoid regular traffic. It is usually separated from regular roads or highways, giving transit vehicles a clear and fast path to their destinations. Transitways are designed to improve the speed and reliability of public transport, especially during peak travel times, by reducing delays caused by heavy traffic. They are often found in urban areas, where high volumes of passengers rely on public transportation to get around.
Examples
The city introduced a new transitway to speed up bus routes and reduce traffic congestion.
Cyclists are not allowed on the transitway, which is reserved exclusively for public transport.
