Push buses in the south

The newly introduced bus rapid transit (BRT) system on a single 11-km stretch in Delhi has had a baptism by fire and just about survived. Although five corridors are planned as a first step, it is quite uncertain if the idea will eventually live and grow in practice. So those who feel that a key route to better cities is to have dedicated bus lanes to make bus travel more attractive and popular, see a long hard struggle ahead of themselves.
