Abstract: The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system offers an efficient, sustainable transportation solution for Indian cities. This guideline, developed by the Highways Specifications and Standards Committee, provides recommendations for BRT design, including system, station, corridor layouts, vehicle specifications, and operations. Key focuses include universal accessibility, safety, inter-modal integration, depot layout, and parking management. A checklist for infrastructure and operations management aids in effective implementation. The document also compares global BRT systems, offering insights for enhancing urban transport. Ultimately, these guidelines aim to create reliable, efficient BRT systems that meet the needs of India’s growing urban populations.
