Chennai: Tamil Nadu State Assembly-Government urged to
go for BRTS in city

Chennai, April 20: The PMK on Friday urged the State
Government to opt for Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)
for the Chennai Metropolitan city as this system had
been successful in many foreign countries. At present,
BRTS was being implemented on an experimental basis in
Delhi and Indore, while works on the project were
going on in Ahmedabad, Vishakapatnam, Bhopal and Pune.

Participating in a discussion on the demand for grants
for the Transport Department in the state Assembly,
PMK member MLA T Velmurugan said 90 percent of the
commuters used only Metropolitan Transport Corporation
Buses in Chennai. However, the traffic congestion
caused by cars and other vehicles delayed the movement
of the buses.

The BRTS had been successful in many western countries
and it became environment-friendly also, Velmurugan
said and added that the BRT would need an exclusive
road.
