Fastway is a bus rapid transit network in Surrey and West Sussex, United Kingdom, linking Crawley with Gatwick Airport and Horley, the first to be constructed outside a major city. It uses specially adapted buses that can either be steered by the driver or operate as "self steering" guided buses along a specially constructed track. Fastway is operated by Metrobus, using Scania OmniCity,[1] Wright StreetLite,[2] Volvo B7RLE / Wright Eclipse 2 and Wright GB Kite Hydroliner buses.[3][4]
