    Background

    Ahmedabad has a population of 5,570,585 as per 2011

    census,[7] which is likely to be 11 million by the year 2035.

    This would lead to agglomeration of surrounding settlements

    like Naroda and other smaller villages, which ultimately

    increases the area of the city, which may become 1,000 km2

    in the year 2035. Ahmedabad has limited public transport options. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and Gujar

    State Government initiated a plan for integrated public transit system, in which Bus Rapid Transit System) is one o

    the components, to facilitate the major mobility need of the people. In future, this system will get integrated with

     Nehru Nagar - Shivranjani Crossroad

    Corridor 

    Ahmedabad BRTS at night

    MEGA by the addition of two lines running through east to west and north to south in the city.[6] Upcoming Gujar

    International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) would be easily accessible through this multimodal mix of Rapid Transport

    Systems.[6]

    It has system designs quite similar to Curitiba's Rede Integrada de

    Transporte and Bogota's TransMilenio. By following this system Chennai

    BRTS and Bangalore BRTS are also under implementation and Mumbai

    BRTS and Bhubaneswar BRTS are under planning.

    [6]

    Technical procedures was started in 2006.[8] A part of the first corridor 

    connecting Pirana to RTO Junction was opened to public on October 

    14, 2009 by Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.[6] Second half 

    of the first phase of the BRTS was inaugurated on December 25, 2009.

    It was stretched up to Kankaria Lake later to cater eastern part of the

    city.

    Planning

    Prof.H.M Shivanand Swamy, an economist and urban planner by training

    and is the Associate Director, CEPT University spearheaded the planning

    and implementation of BRTS in Ahmedabad by mapping various

    corridors and feeder networks. Besides giving priority to buses, the

    system is designed to provide dedicated lanes for pedestrian and non-

    motorized vehicles like cycles and rickshaws etc.[6][8]

    Feasibility Report (2005): First study initiated by the state project

    development agency, Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board, initiated preparation of a feasibility report for bu

    rapid transit system. The study, based on a detailed assessment of demand, socio-economic characteristics andtechnical feasibility, identified BRTS development over 58 kilometers of road network.[6]

    Detailed Project Report (2005): Based on the feasibility report prepared by CEPT, a detailed project report fo

    submission under JNNURM program of the Government of India was prepared by CEPT. The project has been

    sanctioned by the Ministry of Urban Development (India). The project report included detailed planning of 

    roadway as well as development of other supporting infrastructure and operating systems.[6]

    Detailed System Design and Implementation Support (2006-ongoing):BRTS- Ahmedabad is under 

    implementation. Detailed system design and support during construction is being provided by CEPT team. The

    team had already made some 100 minor design changes to avoid difficulties faced by Delhi and Pune inimplementation.[6][9]

    Selection of Corridors

    Based on an analysis of the socio-economic factors, travel demand patterns, road network characteristics,

     proposed metro plan and existing Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) route network as the criteria

    a network of roads covering about 155 kilometers in length have been identified for developing the Bus Rapid

    Transit System within Ahmedabad.[6]

    Corridors

    Given the expected travel demand on each corridor, BRTS solutions are structured.The operations plan develope

    not only provides route structure for BRT operations but also the rationalised routing plan for AMTS operations.

    This is necessary so that the two systems compliment each other rather than compete with each other. In terms of 

    routes following three types of routes are structured to operate transit services - BRTS Trunk Routes,Complementary Routes (AMTS)and BRTS Feeder Routes.[6]

    Corridors are as follows:[1]  Operational corridors  Underconstruction corridors  Proposed corridors
