5. A complex city like Mumbai needs
sustainable transport initiatives that are
frequent, reliable and allows flexibility
6. Improve connectivity and mobility, in areas of substantial
population growth and further
Optimize the use of existing space through increase in
capacity and capability
Strengthen Existing Institutions
Can be implemented within a short time period
Complement and support other mass transport initiatives
Why BRTS in Mumbai ?
8. Bus service is not reliable
Frequent breakdown of the buses
Spending 2-3 hours total on traffic everyday
Even after paying so heavily, if one would continue to get a
poor quality service

BRTS Components for 21,000 pphpd
20. Quality
The BRTS will be distinguished for its excellence in
infrastructure, stations, vehicles, technologies and
operations, providing a competitive alternative to motor vehicles
Integration
The BRTS will be integrated with other transport modes, particularly
walking, biking, the metro, the regional rail and other bus services
AND with the developments around it
Sustainability
The BRTS will reduce harmful emissions, provide improved service
for all road users, and will be cost effective
Safety
The BRTS will enhance traffic safety for all road
users, specially the most vulnerable
BRTS Suggested Design Principles
25. Great Potential (High Ridership of Buses + Autos +
Motorcycles)- 21,000 pphpd
Western Express Highway is part of larger system providing
north-south as well as east-west connectivity
Passenger opinion survey emphasized on reliability and
need for reduced travel times
Findings and Recommendations
26. Traffic Impact Analysis on non-BRTS lanes
Weaving Analysis for buses to slip in and out of
BRTS lanes
Impact Analysis - Travel times (in-vehicle travel
time, waiting and transferring)
Aggregated economic value of travel time
Work in Progress
27. Detailed analysis of the options best suited to the
demand
Defining the Operation Plan
Drafting the Concept design
Our present efforts are put towards
