DESCRIPTION:Bus Rapid Transit Advocates Bring Traveling Exhibit to Transit Riders\n\n	at Six CTA Bus and Train Stops\n\n	August 7th - 9th\n\n	\n\n	 \n\n	WHAT:\n\n	\n\n	BRT is an exciting new mode of public transportation that reinvents the bus\, offering a better transit experience with the reliability\, efficiency and speed of a train.
