The Buenos Aires Metrobus is a network of dedicated separated lanes and stations for normal buses that serve the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Designed as a Bus Rapid Transit system, it mixes a few bi-articulated buses with conventional buses. The headway is the same as before the implementation of the system, and it lacks the brand of the network in the buses that use it, maintaining their previous branding as common bus lines with their own numbers.〔(Diputada K con fuertes críticas al Metrobús en la 9 de Julio ) - Seccion Politica, 24 February 2013.〕 The service operates 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, with 2-4 minute frequencies during the day and 10-15 minutes at night.〔(¿Por qué Metrobus? ) - Buenos Aires Ciudad〕 ==History== The first segment of the network opened to the public in May 2011, and runs through the entirety of Juan B. Justo Avenue linking the neighbourhoods of Liniers and Palermo.〔(Macri inaugurates new Metrobus transport system, Buenos Aires Herald, Retrieved 9 September 2012 ).〕〔(El metrobús ya une Palermo con Liniers, La Nación, 1 June 2011 ).〕 This segment consists of 21 stations and has an extension of . The second segment of the network, opened on 24th July 2013, spans the length of the 9 de Julio Avenue, consisting of 17 stations with an extension of . The third segment of the network opened on 14th August, 2013, and consists of 36 stops with an extension of . This segment runs through important arteries of the southern area of the city, bringing commuters back and forth from the southern (Constitución) rail terminal of the General Roca Railway to the city proper's borders (General Paz Avenue). In parts of this segment of the network (along Rabanal Avenue) the bus lines merge with the general traffic and return to the dedicated lane afterwards. On October 9th, 2013, the Government of the City announced plans for the extension of the network, which will have a total extension of . When the network is complete, it will have a total of 7 lines carrying an estimated 1.2 million passengers per day.〔(Más de un millón de personas se beneficiarán con la red de Metrobus ) - Buenos Aires Ciudad, 9 October 2013.〕 The fourth line, Metrobus Cabildo, opened in June 2015 and connects Congreso de Tucumán (the terminus of Line D of the Buenos Aires Underground) with Vicente López in Greater Buenos Aires.〔(Inaugurarían en junio el Metrobús Cabildo ) - EnElSubte, 6 May 2015.〕 This segment was originally going to be covered by Line D in its extension to the borders of the city proper, however the creation of this Metrobus means the line's extension will be unlikely.〔(¿Por qué la línea D no llega hasta Puente Saavedra? ) - EnElSubte, 25 June 2013.〕 An eighth line was announced in 2015 which would run from North to South in the West of the city, linking most of the East-West lines together. This line will most likely replace the planned Line I of the Buenos Aires Underground, while parts of the line will run underground and the buses that operate the line will be electric.〔(Larreta oficializa la transformación de la línea I en Metrobús ) - EnElSubte, 15 April 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metrobus (Buenos Aires)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
