Split stations

Lanzhou BRT is the first BRT system to use split stations. Several of the platforms are located in the middle of the road, and buses in both directions stop cross-platform.[2][3] This saves platform space. However, it requires the buses to be fitted with doors on both sides. Passenger access the platforms through overpasses or underground pedestrian tunnels.
