Fastway is the first bus rapid transit system in the world to be built outside a major city by a partnership of local authorities and private companies with automatic vehicle location, pre-trip and in-trip passenger information and automatic traffic signal priority from the start. Funding In June 2002 the official Fastway website was updated to show a cost of £27 million, with just under £10 million provided by the government. In September 2003, the Go-Ahead group withdrew their £3 million commitment to the project. The government increased its contribution to cover this as well as other rising costs, raising its contribution to £16.642 million. Services The Fastway system is currently formed of three bus routes, all of which are operated by Metrobus: Route 10 Route 10 is the most frequent service on the network. It operates between Bewbush and Gatwick Airport via Broadfield, Crawley Town Centre and Manor Royal. It runs every 7-8 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, every 12 minutes on Sundays and every 30 minutes overnight. Route 20 Route 20 operates between Pease Pottage and Langshott via Broadfield, Crawley Town Centre, Three Bridges, Gatwick Airport and Horley. It runs every 20 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays and every 30 minutes on Sundays. It is the only Fastway service not to run overnight. Route 100 Route 100 is the longest route on the network. It operates between Maidenbower and Redhill via Three Bridges, Crawley Town Centre, Manor Royal, Gatwick Airport, Horley and East Surrey Hospital. It runs every 20 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, every 30 minutes on Sundays and hourly overnight. Promoters The Fastway project was promoted and funded by a public-private partnership. The consortium included West Sussex County Council, Surrey County Council, Crawley Borough Council, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, BAA Gatwick, British Airways. There is also support from the UK Department for Transport. The project initially included a £3 million contribution by Metrobus, the bus operator, and its parent company, the Go-Ahead Group, but this was withdrawn after construction had started, and the money was replaced by West Sussex County Council. The projected cost started at £27 million and
