History of BRT
The Bus Rapid Transport System, or BRT, has its roots in October 1971 when the Busway in Runcorn, England was established. In the United States, the first BRT began in 1977 with Pittsburgh’s South Busway. BRT aims to make transportation more convenient for the public.
India also has an extensive BRT system. The Government of Hyderabad initiated the first elevated BRT system connecting the city to the airport. The plan includes constructing a viaduct on piers similar to metro rail projects but at a lower height. This corridor will be exclusively for twin or three electric buses, connecting various prominent locations as envisioned for the bus system.
