Here are the interactive maps for the bus Network redesign. I think these are newly released (or at least I haven't seen them). They have direct comparisons for existing network vs draft network so that it's easier to see the changes.

I’d love some kind of “projected route” tool for the new network so I can compare my usual trips to what they would be with the draft redesign. The proposal shows changes to both routes that border my neighborhood.
The idea that the School District of Philadelphia would spend tens of millions to intensify the city’s traffic violence epidemic is baffling to many of its residents, even those who stand to monetarily benefit from the program.
The transport system requires dedicated lanes, such as elevated platforms, and uses small, diagonal pullouts for loading and unloading.
The most game-changing part of this is not the autonomous vehicles nor the “less of an eyesore” infrastructure, it’s the dedicated lanes. Why can Atlanta dedicate lanes for a pilot and not for Marta buses?
