Lahore Rapid Transit was actually going to be a reality until the floods happened. They were really serious about it.

As someone who lives in a city suffering because of BRTS, I warn you guys to conduct a full DPR as well as economic analysis before any such projects.

BRTS can be quite painful if the road itself has a total of 3 lanes or less.

There are both good and bad BRT projects running in India.

BRT is not for a very big metropolitan city like Delhi but its running successfully in Ahmedabad.

Pakistan have to decide what suits its specific needs.

I will post pics of BRTs to make things clear in next post.

The worst BRTS example is Delhi BRTS.

In Delhi its causing lots of problem of traffics jams.

But the Ahmedabad BRTS is a success.

All major cities need transit facilities to ease congestion and pollution
