Surat BRTS - Abhijit Lokre
This document provides details about the Surat Bus Rapid Transit System in India. It discusses Surat's population growth, existing transportation challenges due to limited public transit, and the plan to implement a Bus Rapid Transit system to address mobility needs. The BRTS will be implemented in phases, with Phase 1 covering 30 km of dedicated bus lanes and bus stations. Facilities like workshops, depots, and a control center are also being constructed. The BRTS aims to improve transportation access, reduce congestion and pollution, and support further urban development around transit stations.
