International transport expert reviews Delhi BRT, CSE press release, Feb 7, 2009

Dario Hidalgo, transport expert with the Washington-based World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport, has done an in-depth assessment of the Delhi BRT. Says the Delhi BRT has succeeded in meeting some of its key objectives, though it is still in an evolving phase. It has a lot of promise in terms of easing the congestion load in the city. Says BRT managers need to now focus on raising the operational efficiency of the system. Improving the reliability, comfort and safety of buses and the quality of bus services, and reducing person delays must be the priorities.
