After BRTS, govt goes for Abad rail

Writes To Centre To Sanction City Railway Network Rajiv Shah | TNN Gandhinagar: A realization has dawned on Gujarat government that the Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) is not enough to fulfil the mobility plans of mega-city Ahmedabad. A dormant plan for a Regional Rail System (RRS) is now being revived to provide additional transportation infrastructure for the city which is growing by leaps and bounds. The RRS plan was shelved after Delhi Rail Metro Corporation Ltd prepared a feasibility report for Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) in August 2005.
