The presented research is focused on the design of a new driving cycle of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for the Kyiv city. This cycle consists of a complex of two types of sections. Each of them includes various phases of the traffic. A mathematical model was specified, which serves for defining the efficiency properties indices and for regimes of bus transport. The BRT are used within the bus lines. It was found, that two articles articulated buses are the most suitable choice, the MAZ-215 among them, for exploitation. At the same time, they provide the smallest fuel consumption together with the shorter operation time on the bus line as well as higher average speed at full and half loading. The optimal driving speeds of the steady traffic are the values of 50 km/h for section up to 1 km and 60 km/h or 70 km/h for section over 1 km. It was evaluated, that depending on the steady motion speed and the load level, the driving time of the BRT on the line varies from 20.1 min to 23.4 min, which is much lower than the driving time of a trolleybus on the same line according to the traffic schedule.
