[1] The network has been in planning since 2015, and involves upgrading existing road infrastructure to include long stretches of separated public transport lanes.
Borgarlína, as a bus rapid transit (BRT) system, aims to upgrade sections of the existing road infrastructure with long stretches of dedicated lanes for public transport.
The first phase of Borgarlína involves the construction of a bridge across Fossvogur Bay [de], which is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
However, the construction of the first phase of the Reykjavík express bus line Borgarlína has been delayed by the Corona pandemic.
The vehicles will mostly drive on special lanes and have priority at intersections, which will result in shorter travel times.
