Bus Rapid Transit System:

Studies done on the BRTS have

identified the complete networkfor the city.

Concerns:

1. ROW

2. Traffic flows

3. Future growth centres

NB: the authorities did not spend

time on the route alignment,

preferring to take the shortest

distance between 2 points.

The authorities had initially decided to implement light rail, but then they went ahead

with the bus rapid transit system under JnNURM.

Metro started undergoing construction before the BRT was completed.

systematic manner.

BRT kick started by the

government under the

JnNURM schemeChange in government

results in Metro given

prominence

Work for both continuingsimultaneously

Jaipur BRT: Feasibility study done by PDCOR Ltd.

Only about 5 KM of BRT lane

created.

After disruptions and delays, BRT

now has an open system, with the

buses intermingling in the mixedtraffic.

Infrastructure needed for the BRT is

still not completed.

Jaipur Metro: Feasibility study done by DMRC.

Two routes of 12 and 23 KM have

been proposed.

Infrastructure construction is still

ongoing.

No idea if the Metro is supposed toact as feeder to the BRT, or the BRT

is to be support for Metro

1. Why do cities decide on one thing, change their mind halfway through, and then go

ahead with another thing with modifications to old ones? What lead to this change

of mind?

2. What will be the probable impact of these decisions on the mode? What will be the

final outcome of the transit plan?

Q U E S T I O N S :

I N F E R E N C E S :

1. A comprehensive alternative analysis of the city is missing.

2. The timeline decided for transit infrastructure has not been followed.

3. The BRTS corridors are incomplete.
