^To be honest, I was underwhelmed when I finally found it. During the conference, there was some promotional material that mentioned Reno had a new BRT system. For some reason, I thought the corridor it ran on would be "branded" a bit more. I went looking for dedicated lanes, BRT stations,etc., similar to what I had experienced in Cleveland. I couldn't find the corridor randomly walking through downtown, so I found the train station and the new transit center, which was across the street from Amtrak and is quite nice, btw. I decided not to ride it, once I figured out what it was. Basically a branded bus with decent headways but no visible impact on the neighborhoods it serves.
The Rapid runs to the burbs, I was already downtown and I had no interest in seeing Reno's sprawl (I saw enough from the sky and the taxi ride from the airport). I believe it is being expanded down 4th Street, which is a strip with craft breweries and old warehouses, just east of DT, that reminds me of Brooklyn's Park Street. Transit users at the transit center seemed to be typical of what you'd find in any city with local bus service. With that said, from what I could observe, it seemed like a regular bus route with nicer vehicles.
