Catch the Bus in Curitiba! Stop. Look both ways. Listen.

My city of Curitiba, Brazil, is famous for its bus system. It is
called the BRT. There are more than a thousand buses in our city.
There are many cars and trucks on the roads, but the buses use a

special lane. They can move fast. In some parts of the city, you can

catch a bus every 90 seconds. Many buses are the typical size, but
some of the buses are very long. They carry a lot of people. The
buses are modern, and some of the bus stops are, too. At these

stops, people can get on and off the bus in 15 seconds.
