Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The BRT system is a new concept in the public transport system. bus rapid transit (BRT) is a term applied to a variety of public transportation systems using buses to provide a service that is faster than that of a common bus line. The Delhi Bus Rapid Transit System is a new concept of transport in Delhi, where the bus to accommodate sixty percent of the city’s transport needs. Along with Delhi Metro and will soon be introduced Monorail and Light Rail will be part of an integrated multimodal transport operations in Delhi. Delhi BRT work is also accelerated in the fact that the city will host the Commonwealth Games in 2010.

BRT Delhi can not be separated i. e. , Buses do not run at a different level or height compared to normal traffic and traffic signals to share himself. problem of transport in the Capital CityDelhi is known as a city of bridges in India. During the last decade, a number of viaducts were built to relieve the traffic on the road. To create an infrastructure-oriented private vehicles, public transport system has been neglected. Additionally, the city with a booming economy, cars have replaced the buses on the streets and cyclists have gone to two-wheel motorcycles. Pedestrians are carried more passengers on the road. The increased number of vehicles in circulation has not only reduced the mobility of most people, but also increased the level of contamination, the average travel time and fuel consumption km. To solve these problems, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) provides an integrated multi-modal public transport consisting of a metro system, Mono Rail, Light Rail and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The overall vision is to strengthen the public transport system and provide a long term solution for urban traffic and parking problems. Need CorridorDespite BRT success of the Delhi Metro, bus system, however, is important. The Delhi Metro can not completely replace the system bus based on all routes. Due to higher capital costs, low returns on equity and the gestation period of the great, can not build a subway line in all stretches. The reason is that the BRT bus system is more flexible than the transport system. There is, therefore, the need to strengthen the bus system based on. In Delhi, buses are generally considered unreliable and time to reach your destination. Therefore need to develop a system for prioritizing and dedicated road space for buses to be reliable and faster. BRT system is part of the multimodal transport policy GNCTD, a total of 7 BRT corridor is proposed to build the first phase.
