    1) Vadodara is a compact city in Gujarat with a population of 1.75 million people. It is known as the cultural city of Gujarat. 2) The document proposes a Bus Rapid Transit system for Vadodara to address issues of rapid growth, high mobility, and inadequate public transportation. The proposed BRT network would be 60km long across two phases. 3) Planning the BRT system involves selecting routes, designing road infrastructure, and addressing challenges of accessing the inner city due to narrow rights-of-way in some areas. Various options are considered to navigate the inner city, including elevated corridors, pedestrian-only corridors, traffic management plans, and mini BRT systems.

    Issues

    Exploring options for accessing


    inner city
    Option 1 : Elevated
    Corridor

    PRO(s):
    Can respond to RoW constraints upto 18 m
    CON(s):
    Accessibility to BRT Stations
    Increased cost of infrastructure
    Visually unappealing

    Exploring options for accessing


    inner city
    Option 2 : Pedestrian + Bus
    only corridor

    Example:Kankaria, Ahmedabad

    PRO(s):

    Exploring
    spaces

    Safe and secure pedestrian infrastructure


    CON(s):
    Acceptance of people
    Can only be adopted to stretches with limited public property access
