The controversy over the BRT corridor has also generated a lot of curiosity about the system. With the issue failing to die down, several government officials dealing with the project claim they have been receiving calls inquiring about the system. Some of the questions flying their way are: "How does the system work? What are its benefits? Could it be implemented in other cities?' "I have even received calls from Andaman and Nicobar and other places to check on the status of the project,' said a senior official. The public apart, people most keen on checking the status of the project seem to be bureaucrats, who want to see how their Delhi counterparts deal with the heat. "They want to see whether we are able to make the system work or just give in to the pressure,' the official said.
