Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) provides faster, more efficient public transportation than ordinary bus lines using dedicated bus lanes and stations. The Ahmedabad BRTS, called Janmarg, aims to approach the quality of rail transit at a lower cost. It uses over 60 air-conditioned, GPS-enabled buses with two-way voice announcements and an e-ticketing system. Janmarg has won several national and international awards for its sustainable transportation solutions and contributions to urban development in Ahmedabad.

Impact
Mass rapid transit, also referred to as public transit, is a passenger transportation service, usually local in scope, that is available to any person who pays a prescribed fare.
It usually operates on specific fixed tracks or with separated and exclusive use of potential common track, according to established schedules along designated routes or lines with specific stops.
It is designed to move large numbers of people at one time.

This presentation talks about the basics of transportation planning. The transportation jargons that are used like ROW, Carriage way etc. It also talks about the Road hierarchy, Intersections, Road Capacity and Level of Service.
Rail rapid transit system, its advantage along with the case study of very successful Delhi metro (india) is presented here. the presentation is purely for educational purposes.
When evaluating mass transit options for Indian cities, metro rail systems are given preference over surface systems due to the belief that road-based bus systems cannot cater to the capacity requirement as much as metro systems can. In addition, metro rails are perceived to have higher levels of comfort, speed, and efficiency than bus systems.
This presentation will give you an overview of Ahmedabad BRTS "JANMARG" Project. The slides were presented by me at Civil Engineering Department, L.D. College of Engineering

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) results in the creation of compact, walkable and liveable communities with access to amenities built around high quality mass transit stations. However, the discourse around TODs in India is more of a densification and value capture approach, which is necessary, but yet an incomplete conversation for the Indian context. This webinar, presented by Todd Litman, Himadri Das and Lubaina Rangwala addresses the major challenges and learnings from the ‘implementation’ of a TOD.

DEMOLITION:-Demolition is the process of tearing down or falling down of a building after its life period with the help of some equipments or any other method. When explosives are used for this then the demolition process are called as an implosion. Every civil engineering structure is designed for a life period. After that the existence of a structure is very dangerous. So removal of such structures with proper safety measures has got great importance. There are different steps involved before and during the time of a demolition activity.

Effective learning from delhi brts –a case study of pune brtseSAT Journals
Abstract This paper emphasizes on the common problems endured by Delhi and Pune BRTS corridor. Urban Traffic commutation has an eloquent place in urban life. BRTS is a very old form of public transport, but it is still a new concept for developing countries like India, because of its psychological aspects. Bus Rapid Transit involves synchronized improvements in a transport system’s infrastructure, equipment, working, performance and technology that give preference to buses on urban roadways. This paper gives an overall outlook of Delhi and Pune BRT systems and observed some common problems in operating both the system, and some recommendations are mentioned so that could help improving Pune BRTS immensely and influentially and have a better result avoiding bottlenecksthose faced byDelhiBRTS.The main present study intent to highlight the problems and to overcome those problems. Keywords: Delhi and Pune BRTS Bottlenecks, Public Transport, Feeder, Social Image
Mass transit system refers to public shared transportation, such as trains, buses, ferries etc that can commute a larger number of passengers from origin to destination on a no-reserved basis and in lesser time. It can also be termed as Public Transport.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. CONCEPT
• Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a term applied to a variety
of public transport systems using buses to provide
faster, more efficient service than an ordinary bus
line.
• Bus Rapid Transit is the name given to sophisticated
bus systems that have their own lanes on city
streets.
• It ensures fast, reliable, secure and high capacity
service.
• BRT is mainly used in the America; in India, it is
called BRTS (the additional 'S' stands for system)
3. AIMS & OBJECTIVES
AIM:
• To approach the service quality of rail
transit while still enjoying the cost savings and
flexibility of bus transit.
OBJECTIVES:
Considering the factors such as
• Travel demand
• Ease of implementation
• Potential of the route as an independent
route.
Integration of BRTS with other proposals.
4. WHY BRTS??
An Affordable Choice
• Many cities are now choosing Bus Rapid Transit for
two important reasons:
1. cost
2. convenience.
The cost of building a heavy rail system like a subway
reach as much as 10 times that of Bus Rapid Transit.
5. BRTS Bus in Los Angeles
BRTS Bus in Mondego, Portugal
BRTS Bus, Beijing
Bogota, Columbia
6. CHARACTERISTICS OF BRTS…
• Bus only, grade-separated right-of-way:
A dedicated bus lane allows the bus to operate separately, without
interference from other modes of traffic.
• Serves a diverse market with high-frequency all day service:
A BRT network with comprehensive coverage can serve a diverse market
(all income ranges) by moving large numbers of people between locations
quickly and reliably throughout the day, while maintaining a comfortable
riding experience.
• Bus priority:
Preferential treatment of buses at signalized intersections can involve the
extension of green time and/or allowing the bus to proceed sooner, out of
turn, relative to the normal sequence of signal phases.
• Off-bus fare collection:
Conventional on-board fare collection slows the boarding process,
particularly when different fares are collected for different destinations
and/or classes of passengers. This allows passengers to board quickly
through all doors of a stopped bus.
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF BRTS
• Vehicles with tram-like characteristics:
Recent technological developments such as bi-articulated buses and guided
buses have benefited the set-up of BRT systems. The main developments are:
• Improved riding quality .
• Increased capacity .
• Reduced operating costs (hybrid electric power train).
• A specific image with a brand name:
The system's brand identity contributes to its attractiveness as an alternative to
driving cars.
• Level boarding:
Many BRT systems also use low-floor buses to speed passenger boardings and
enhance accessibility to disabled passengers.
• Stations:
High-quality BRT systems feature significant investment in enclosed stations which
may incorporate attractive sliding glass doors, staffed ticket booths, information
booths, and other more standard features listed above.
8. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS:
• The typical diesel engine on the bus causes noticeable levels
of air pollution, noise and vibration.
• A BRT system can use trolleybuses to lower gaseous and noise
emissions.
• The price penalty of installing overhead lines could be offset by
the system's environmental benefits potential for savings from
centrally generated electricity, especially in cities where
electricity is less expensive than other power sources.
• In addition, most trolleybus applications can be converted to
light rail with the only extra expense being the laying and
maintenance of tram tracks in the street.
9. IMPLEMENTATION OF BRTS IN INDIA:
• India currently has a number of operational BRT systems and many
more under construction.
• Existing BRT Systems with segregated lanes:
– Pune: was the first BRT system in India. Currently uses low floor Volvo buses
– Ahmedabad: is India's most developed and advance BRT system. Currently
uses Ashok Leyland semi-low floor buses
– Delhi: was the second BRT system in India. Currently uses Tata Marcopolo Bus
– Jaipur: currently uses Ashok Leyland buses
• Existing BRT Systems without segregated lanes:
– Mumbai: currently uses King-Long, Mercedes and Tata buses
– Indore: currently uses Tata buses
• BRT Systems Under construction:
– Rajkot: Under construction
– Surat: Under construction,
– Indore BRTS: Indore BRTS.
11. INTRODUCTION
AHMEDABAD BRTS is officially named as ‘JanMarg’ by Sri
Narendra Modi which means ‘people’s way’ – a road that can
carry citizens in safety, comfort and at high speeds.
Janmarg a vision of Shri Narendra Modi to provide Ahmedabad’s
citizens with cost effective, efficient and state of the art public
transport.
14th October 2009- this is a day that will remain edged forever in
the annals of Ahmedabad’s glorious history. It was on this day that
Shri Narendra Modi flagged off ‘Janmarg’, Ahmedabad’s own state
of the art Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS).
It is oprerated by Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited, a subsidiary of
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. It is designed by CEPT University.
13. FEATURES
Over 60 buses with GPS enabled facility with 2 way voice
days and Passenger Information System as well as
e-ticketing system.

Accessible to persons with special needs.
Bus Stations with the latest technology.
Option of a Janmarg Travel Card that saves the
commuter the need to stand in long lines and buy
tickets.
14. Y BRTS IN AHMEDABAD??
• Janmarg has always been a project very close to Shri Modi’s
heart.
• Ahmedabad being India’s seventh largest city and the
largest city in Gujarat with a population of over 5 million
people urgently required a transport system that is
effective, efficient and can complement the pace of
development .Gujarat has been going through over the past
decade.
• Almost all leading international financial centres from
London, Paris, New York have mass transit infrastructure in
place and this is exactly what Shri Modi is seeking to
achieve for Ahmedabad for which Janmarg is only the
grand beginning.
