"We are not against BRT, but the plan should have been implemented after a study of the composition of traffic and commuters travelling on this stretch. At present, only a fraction of the total capacity of the BRT is in use," said Muktesh Chander, special commissioner (traffic).
A senior traffic officer pointed out three major problems that could not be addressed even after they were given control of signals on this stretch. One of the problems was the difference in signal timing.
Traffic police in a report had pointed out the lack of proper movement of pedestrians from bus shelters in the middle of the road to pavements. Data shows at least five pedestrians are hit by vehicles in the process every day. A rough estimate shows that more than two lakh vehicles use the BRT out of which about 25% are buses, the rest being cars, two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws.
To reach the bus shelter, a pedestrian has to wade through oncoming traffic increasing the potential of an accident.
The third issue is lack of connectivity of the corridor to any other point. "Commuters from Ambedkar Nagar cannot be dropped at Moolchand and asked to take other means of transport.
This has made the stretch unpopular," said a traffic police officer.
Police had suggested that BRT could be introduces at GT Road in north-east Delhi, parts of Outer Ring Road in Rohini and parts of Najafgarh Road.
