With cars in bus lanes, nothing rapid about BRT anymore
Buses Are Entering Car Lanes And Going Over Dividers Near Bus Stops As Chaos Prevails On Delhi Govt’s Showcase Corridor
New Delhi: Just four months after the Delhi government made a passionate appeal to Delhi High Court to restrict the central lane on the Ambedkar Nagar-Moolchand bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor to buses and emergency vehicles, it’s back to chaos. Cars, autorickshaws and even mini-trucks are using the lane, defying the law with impunity. Those stuck in the car lanes are left to wonder what the BRT is all about when buses can’t have a free run because the law cannot be enforced. How can the government simply abandon the stretch after arguing for it vehemently in court.
