Blueline crash course on BRT: first accident

The first bus accident on the BRT corridor since its trial run began has driven home a point: even the supposedly much wider bus lanes also lack enough space for buses to manoeuvre. On Tuesday morning, two passengers in a Blueline bus were injured when the driver made an attempt to save a pedestrian who suddenly came on the corridor by swerving to the left and hitting the railing. The incident took place at Pushp Vihar around 8 am. The bus on route number 544 was headed from Ambedkar Nagar to Sarjoni Nagar at the time.
