Eugene Transit |
Eugene regional transit, Lane Transit District, looked at ways to improve transit in the Emerald City. Light Rail was considered, but due to Eugene-Springfield's size and costs, Bus Rapid Transit, dubbed EmX was chosen.
The initial line, now called the Green Line runs from downtown Springfield to downtown Eugene, skirting the edge of the UofO campus. It is a predominately a single lane line with passing sidings and Light rail like stations.
This proved successful, so a second line was built, called the Gateway Line linking Springfield (and the Green Line) with the Gateway district to the north. LTD it looking for more lines to the west.
The busses are special branded busses with doors on both side as some stations are center island, and some are curbside.
