Chicago would be an ideal location for a BRT system because it is a heavily populated city with a high percentage of its population currently using CTA services to travel throughout the city. This would also present opportunities to relieve traffic congestion. One route for which this BRT system could work on would be Ashland, because Ashland is a very wide street that runs throughout Chicago with ideal stops at other major streets and train lines along the route. This route would also provide transportation for a diverse demographic and a majority of the city population. Chicagoans also rely heavily on public transportation due to harsh weather conditions, huge public events in the city, poverty stricken demographics and the current rise in gas prices.

This is great work! I enjoy the whole project, with all the steps and different ideas that led to the final production is awesome. The software and penciled designs you used are all looking clean and crisp. So what kind of software do you use?
