Great project!

Why do they have sidewalks on dedicated BRT elevated carriageways?

I don't personally think that using escalators was the right thing to do. These systems are placed outside against the elements, and with already electricity problems and expected maintenance practices, this could turn out ugly.

Escalators are primarily installed for disabled persons.There are backup generators on every stations of BRT for the escalators. These escalators will be shaded.

Escalators will actually add to the woes of passengers during Rush time. These should be installed in addition to the concrete staircase. But again the management team knows better.

So you can race the bus from one point to another They will put plant pots and the whole route will go through beautification project.

Haha. Seriously though, making dedicated sidewalks on elevated carriageways only to install planters isn't the brightest idea. There must be another reason they exist i.e. to function as emergency passenger walkways in case of breakdowns. The planners know best of course.

You meant lifts (elevators) right.
