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.

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.
