it has been fully embraced as part of the METRO brand and "arterial bus rapid transit" is not used outside of planning purposes. Metro Transit has recognized that the character between arterial bus rapid transit and highway bus rapid transit is slightly different, it is not an intrusive one and they are all known as just "bus rapid transit": for their customers it is the same level of service, reliability, and quality. Would appreciated it if we helped remove the term from related articles, too. Thanks!

I've begun removing the term "arterial bus rapid transit" (ABRT) and replacing it with just "bus rapid transit." I know that most of the article regarding ABRT was created at a time when it didn't really have an identity; it was not part of the METRO system and uses letters instead of colors. But now

I noticed that the link to St Paul in the B Line section of the ABRT subheading under the Bus Transit heading mistakenly linked to St Paul the Apostle rather than the city of St Paul. I was unconfident as to my ability to fix it, so if anyone could, that would be appreciated
1425:, which is left as a stub right now. It is notable enough to warrant its own page, and the content is outside the scope of only Metro Transit. I plan on returning this week to work on it more — it's been at the top of my to-do list for a while now. 616:
This whole article seems very bus-oriented, barely mentioning the light-rail portion of the system. But that is the growing part of the system, while the bus routes are declining (both in frequency and ridership).

but I haven't had a chance to write the content yet. I figured I'd share the citations I made in case anyone wants to write about now. The articles are roughly listed in chronological order.

Since I didn't feel that abbreviations had a place in this article, and the link "jams" didn't link to anything having to do with transit, I changed "byp" to "bypass" and "
