Bus Priority - calling for help

silkboard - 17-OCT-2010

Bus Priority System may or may not be BRTS, but if you agree that the Bus needs some speeding up, and want BRTS or good enough half-measures for Bangalore, we need you. Bus Priority System (BPS) may seem like castles in thin air right now, but it will remain that way a bit longer if you decide to keep away. To your question - what help does the project need? Here:

G1/Old Airport Road - corridor detail, files

See leading note (below) from earlier discussion, and also the attached files on corridor detailing, and signal cycle times.

Exclusive bus lanes might not be necessary on old Airport rd because :

"Bus Priority System" - pilot G1/333

silkboard - 12-OCT-2010

A serious switch to public transport (PT) can be triggered if PT can move at closer or better effective speed compared to cars/mobikes. Buses are prime mode of PT in Bengaluru, and would be so for near future.

Possible priority bus corridors

Continuing from previous discussion, possible routes...

1) St.Patricks, Brigade Rd to ITPL (on Old Airport rd) ==> focus for our project here.

2) RMĀ Guttahalli to Yelahanka (along Bellary Rd)
