The Hubballi-Dharwad BRT showcases the potential to offer fast, reliable public transport service at a fraction of the cost of metro construction.

Dar es Salaam’s 20.3 km BRT phase 2 runs from the city centre to Mbagala, with dedicated lanes, split flyovers, and express buses averaging ≈ 30 km/h.

Three fixes would improve service:
✅ Enforce the BRT lanes
✅ Charge fares by distance
✅ Pay the operator per kilometre

The internal improvements at Vastrapur Lake are great, but without walkable streets in the surrounding neighbourhood, accessing the space is difficult.

Here's an example of how we can redesign nearby streets with safe and comfortable facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

📍 Vastrapur Lake, from a village waterbody to a city landmark.

Why is @DULTBangalore studying a tram for Hubballi-Dharwad instead of fixing the BRT?

DULT should focus on:
✅ Renewing the fleet
✅ Replacing parallel mixed traffic routes with BRT services
✅ Harmonising fares
✅ Extending the dedicated corridor

Removing the BRT corridor will not eliminate traffic jams. Slower bus speeds will drive Janmarg passengers to private vehicles, making congestion worse.

Instead, @AmdavadAMC should improve BRT service and increase parking fees to manage car use.

અમદાવાદમાં BRTS કોરિડોર હટાવવાની માગ ઉઠી છે.

નારણપુરાના ધારાસભ્ય જીતેન્દ્ર ભગતે AEC ચાર રસ્તાથી ભૂયંગદેવ ચાર રસ્તા સુધીની રેલિંગ હટાવવા રજૂઆત કરી છે.

BRTS કોરિડોરના કારણે રસ્તા સાંકડા થતા હોવાની અને સોલા રોડ પર વાહનવ્યવહાર વધુ હોવાની રજૂઆત કરાઈ છે.

આ વિસ્તારમાં આવેલા આશરે 20 એપાર્ટમેન્ટને ધ્યાનમાં રાખીને રોડ અને BRTSના વાહનવ્યવહારનો સર્વે કરી, તેના આધારે આગળની કાર્યવાહી કરવાની માગ કરાઈ છે.
