The BMC is planning to revive the much talked about Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), which promises to ease congestion on Mumbai's roads by using dedicated lanes to ferry commuters between destinations. In a meeting held last week between senior officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation
and the BEST, it was decided that BRTS routes can be created on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH), the Western Express Highway (WEH), the Sion-Trombay Road and the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road.
The MMRDA has unsucessfully tried to implement the project in the past. The BMC will now form a panel to undertake site visits, carry out feasibility studies as well as survey the condition of and the encroachments on the chosen roads and highways.
The BMC will have a pilot run of the system on the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road once it is widened.
