This document discusses recommendations for safe bus rapid transit (BRT) design in Indian cities. It notes that BRT has emerged as a cost-effective public transportation alternative in India, with successful examples like Ahmedabad changing the discussion from "why BRT" to "how to implement BRT." However, the Indian context is different than international examples, with features like abundant roadside development, high pedestrian volumes, and auto-rickshaws requiring safety designs tailored for India. The document proposes recommendations like providing multi-utility strips, frequent pedestrian crossings, midblock U-turns, and limiting minor street left turns to improve safety and capacity. A draft of these recommendations has been released for peer review with the final version expected later
