Its the longest of its kind and promising to be as pathetic as the Hadapsar Swargate BRTS. Kindly let me know how can we together help them improve the BRT system on this route. <br /><br />As per my understanding they should ensure usage of optimum road space and there should be 45m space left for the other vehicles to ply.<br /><br />Thank you.Amardeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736584541669541738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053740469589035002.post-21319185227298195892013-01-24T20:20:14.662-08:002013-01-24T20:20:14.662-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021807621854285066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053740469589035002.post-68987549524515031732013-01-05T03:02:20.647-08:002013-01-05T03:02:20.647-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15319333251755406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053740469589035002.post-50616398206270828812013-01-03T23:20:25.172-08:002013-01-03T23:20:25.172-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292627826630798001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053740469589035002.post-1098201056081151132011-02-04T02:23:50.398-08:002011-02-04T02:23:50.398-08:00Many of the features pointed out, like ticket size...Many of the features pointed out, like ticket size, are quite trivial. The low fare, exclusive and new BRT buses, nicely designed bus stations are all appreciated by the public and could be easily replicated here. The lane enforcement is done much better in A'bad, no question about it. Example was set by Chief Minister, when even his convoy did not use the bus lane!<br />Stops on the Pilot BRT in Pune are also ~ 500 metres, just like A'bad. Bus announcements are also made in Pune. And no, it is not true that BRT in A'bad covers the whole city.<br />The BIG issue is this - are WIDE roads needed for BRT? The world over there are examples of BRT on roads only as wide as Karve road. In fact that's the whole point. To prioritize buses! Which means that when the road is narrow, in order to improve the throughput of the road, you must create a bus lane - since a single bus carries more people than 50 cars! The people who oppose this are the car and two-wheeler users, for obvious reasons. And nobody seems to want to ask those who use buses, walk and cycle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873192317684724828noreply@blogger.com
