The 42-km network for implementation of the project has been identified in eight interconnected corridors with about 4 km as an elevated section in phase one. The BRTS will be suitably at grade with an estimated carrying capacity of 25,000 people per hour per direction (pphpd). It is estimated to increase the modal share from 20 per cent to 40-50 per cent with 500 new buses.

The first phase would cover 7.1 km between C-Zone to Panipech, for which the Rajasthan Government has carefully drafted the map.

“We have ensure that there is no plot of land with encroachments or private plots acquired by the Government for the first phase. The land, where the work will begin should belong to the Government, so that we do not face any major barriers,” said Singh.
