Above is a view of the Pulse, the vehicle GRTC will use to carry passengers on the 7.6-mile, Bus Rapid Transit line between Rocketts Landing and The Shops at Willow Lawn. GRTC showed off the bus — the first of 10 — last Friday at its South Side headquarters and depot on Belt Boulevard. Fueled by compressed natural gas, the bus will run more quietly than diesel vehicles. As the photo at right shows, the Pulse interior and seating resemble those of existing buses. One big difference: No fares will be collected inside. Riders will pay at one of the 14 stations before boarding.
