Pulse is an express bus service and a purported bus rapid transit[a] system operated by Pace, a bus and paratransit agency in the Chicago metropolitan area. Pulse lines incorporate some aspects of a bus rapid transit line like transit signal priority, but not others, including no bus lanes.[3][4][2] For this reason, Pulse is not true BRT, and can be accurately described as BRT creep. There are currently two Pulse lines: the Pulse Milwaukee Line and the Pulse Dempster Line.
