This is such a co-incidence, I was thinking of writing an article on Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in India and Business-standard today mentioned about the approval of BRTS in India for four cities -- Ahmedabad, Pune, Nagpur and Indore.

The main feature of a BRT system is having dedicated bus lanes which operate separate from from all other traffic modes. This allows buses to operate at a very high level of reliability since only professional motorists are allowed on the busway.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are few screen shots that I captures from an animation video of BRT implementation in Ahmedabad. In India, Ahmedabad is in the process of implementing the BRTS. Ahmedabad e-governance has a list of documents providing details of the design, development and implementation of BRTS in India. Ahmedabad has proposed around 82 BRT stations across the city. Currently ahmedabad has AMTS (Ahmedabad Municipal Transportation System) running as a public transportation service which has around 115 bus stations.

 



The new proposed BRT Bus stops include Sabarmati, Ranip, University, Vatwa, Narol, Rakhial etc. If you want more details about the list of proposed BRT stops, here is the link.

 

BRT has been implemented in many countries so far. Canada, Mexico, USA, China, Brazil, Japan, Thailand and many more.

 

Here is a short BRT video that I found out on PaceBus.com.
