Birmingham Xpress
Birmingham Xpress (BX) is a bus rapid transit service in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. It is operated by BJCTA and serves a 10 miles (16 km) corridor between the Woodlawn neighborhood and Birmingham Crossplex. Construction began in December 2020, with full service beginning in the fall of 2022. The system uses 40-foot (12 m) buses powered by compressed natural gas on a route featuring dedicated lanes and transit signal priority.
In 2015, a $20 million TIGER grant was awarded to Birmingham by the Federal Transit Administration. A combination of federal and local funding for the $64 million project allowed construction to commence in late 2020 and Xpress service began on September 22, 2022. After opening, the service operated fare-free until the end of 2022.
The route runs northeast–southwest through Birmingham. The eighteen stations include covered platforms, with level boarding, a ticketing kiosk, arrival signage, and bike racks.
The Birmingham Xpress system uses New Flyer XN40 buses powered by compressed natural gas. They feature on-board bicycle racks, free Wi-Fi, and accessibility features including level boarding and self-securing wheelchair parking.
