[sustran] Re: Sustainable transport and the media (in India, and Bogotá, and...)

[Paul Barter]

Unfortunately, it appears that the attacks on Delhi's BRT have now drawn a policy response from the authorities.

Urban Transport News (www.transportnews.com) alerts us that on 19 Feb the Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, was reported (somewhat triumphantly by the Times of India) to have halted further BRT development beyond the initial corridor's first phase. Other routes will apparently need to wait until the initial phase proves its worth.

I blogged a short item on this at http://reinventingtransport.blogspot.com and would welcome any comments or corrections.
