For commuters spending long hours inching through Hyderabad’s IT corridor, a proposal under study could give public transport an unusual advantage over the traffic around it: RTC buses travelling in a dedicated counterflow lane.
Cyberabad traffic police are examining the feasibility of a Counterflow Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system between JNTU Junction and Raidurgam Metro Station via HITEC City, with the possibility of extending it towards Waverock and the Financial District. The proposal is aimed at increasing public transport capacity and cutting journey times without worsening traffic for other motorists.
The plan was discussed at a coordination meeting on Thursday (October 1) following a traffic and BRT survey conducted by the Foundation for Resources and Innovations Policy (FRIP) in coordination with the Society for Cyberabad Security Council.
