Description
Brescia’s Metrobus is an example of an underground built on a human scale: indeed the trains, stations and facilities are three times smaller than traditional underground lines, with a maximum capacity of 17,000 passengers per hour.
The fully automated system (driverless system), created using aerospace technology, has been adopted, offering considerable advantages from the viewpoint of service safety and frequency.
