| 1. | INFORMATION BOARD ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, BRTS, Delhi Summary Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a broad term given to a variety of transportation systems that, through improvements to infrastructure, vehicles, and scheduling, attempt to use buses to provide a service that is of a higher quality than an ordinary bus line. Each BRT system uses different improvements, although many improvements are shared by many BRT systems. The goal of such systems is to at least approach the service quality of rail transit while still enjoying the cost savings of bus transit. The expression BRT is mainly used in North America; in Europe, it is often called bus way, while elsewhere, one may speak of quality bus or simply bus service while raising the quality. Bus rapid transit takes part of its name from rapid transit which describes a high-capacity rail transport system with its own right-of-way, its alignment often being elevated or running in tunnels, and typically running long trains at short headways of a few minutes. Because of the name similarity one tends to associate the merits of rapid transit also with the newer BRT expression. BRT encompasses a broad variety of modes, including those known or formerly known as express buses, limited busways and rapid busways. Ironically, the term bus rapid transit does not refer to the speed of BRT buses. Typical transit speeds of BRT systems range from 19 to 48 km/h. The bus Rapid system initiated by the Transport Department of the Government of Delhi is a safe, sustainable, economic, people- friendly and efficient transport system. It is the first system that caters to provide services and accessibility to all. The information board is part of this system based on same lines. It is a product that acts as a primary landmark to identify the location of the bus stop. It provides initial information to passengers before entering into the corridor network. The BRT corridor from Ambedkar Nagar to Delhi Gate has in total of 22 bus shelter locations. The proposed information board is located on either sides of the bus station | mnjri 2008-07-29 |
