Ipswich Rapid Transit

Ipswich Rapid Transit

Ipswich Rapid Transit is a high-quality bus system serving the town of Ipswich in Suffolk, England. Operated by First Eastern Counties, part of the First Group, the system is notable for featuring a short 0.5 kilometre stretch of guided busway. Like its counterparts in Leeds and Bradford the busway was something of an experimental venture - an example of a more complex system in the UK is the Crawley Fastway.

When not on the guideway buses run on the town's main roads alongside normal traffic, When on the guideway buses are kept on track by small wheels that are angled at 90 degrees to the normal wheels - these run along the kerb edges of the guideway. The route that runs on the guideway is called Superoute 66 and is run with Volvo B7TL double deck buses
