[sustran] Re: New BRT resources subpage

Dear Carlos,
Congratulations! This is excellent. Pune, where we are pushing for BRT, the 
progress is very slow and decision makers and stakeholders alike need to be 
constantly reminded about how important it is to demonstrate that we too 
can run our public transport efficiently.
This is in spite Enrique Penalosa's visit to the city, a public lecture 
attended by over 650 citizens and a cycle rally of over 6,500 people, 
flagged off by him in December 2004.
So your page will be most useful for keeping the BRT plan (initially on two 
major routes) in Pune on the move, and one day not too distant in the 
future,  we hope to be able to send you some photographs and progress 
reports on it.
With good wishes,
