Experts: New BRT model will again be fiasco

After the government took a Uturn on the Ambedkar Nagar-Moolchand Bus Rapid Transit system fiasco, experts fear that markings with yellow lines and cones will not help as the road will again become mixed lanes, bringing the traffic situation back to square one. "It's clear that the middle-lane of the BRT has been scrapped owing to its inherent flaws and that is the reason why the government has decided to develop the new BRT model. Keeping in view the new model, the old stretch should be undone," Prof. P.K. Sarkar of the School of Planning and Architecture said.
