Does "BRT double lane" refer to one 3.5m lane out of two, both together transporting 86k/hour due to leapfrogging efficiencies, or to both lanes together at 7m total? I think it's important to maintain consistency with the 3.5m theme!
I would guess the former, as a single bus line usually doesn't run a constant stream of buses nor express routes, but leapfrogging could allow you to run multiple bus lines along the same corridor, allowing for kinda ludicrous capacities.
BRT Performance:
Oh wow, I could believe that now! Tried looking up pics of Rio and Bogotá BRT to see if they are two-lane or one-lane. Some pics look as if it's 2-lane:
But it seems that's only around stations, the lanes merge into 1 later:
Wow, thanks for digging up some numbers on it. Those systems sure can move a lot of people. I certainly wouldn't mind having buses show up every 6 seconds.
