MEGA by the addition of two lines running through east to west and north to south in the city.[6] Upcoming Gujarat
International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) would be easily accessible through this multimodal mix of Rapid Transport
Systems.[6]
It has system designs quite similar to Curitiba's Rede Integrada de
Transporte and Bogota's TransMilenio. By following this system Chennai
BRTS and Bangalore BRTS are also under implementation and Mumbai
BRTS and Bhubaneswar BRTS are under planning.[6]
Technical procedures was started in 2006.[8] A part of the first corridor
connecting Pirana to RTO Junction was opened to public on October
14, 2009 by Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.[6] Second half
of the first phase of the BRTS was inaugurated on December 25, 2009.
It was stretched up to Kankaria Lake later to cater eastern part of the
city.
Planning
Prof.H.M Shivanand Swamy, an economist and urban planner by training
and is the Associate Director, CEPT University spearheaded the planning
and implementation of BRTS in Ahmedabad by mapping various
corridors and feeder networks. Besides giving priority to buses, the
system is designed to provide dedicated lanes for pedestrian and nonmotorized vehicles like cycles and rickshaws etc.[6][8]
Selection of Corridors
Based on an analysis of the socio-economic factors, travel demand patterns, road network characteristics,
proposed metro plan and existing Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) route network as the criteria,
a network of roads covering about 155 kilometers in length have been identified for developing the Bus Rapid
Transit System within Ahmedabad.[6]

Corridors
Given the expected travel demand on each corridor, BRTS solutions are structured.The operations plan developed
not only provides route structure for BRT operations but also the rationalised routing plan for AMTS operations.
This is necessary so that the two systems compliment each other rather than compete with each other. In terms of
routes following three types of routes are structured to operate transit services - BRTS Trunk Routes,
Complementary Routes (AMTS)and BRTS Feeder Routes.[6]
Corridors are as follows:[1]
