The hostility and opposition towards BRT has always been about power politics.
BRT reallocates scarce road space from a minority travelling in private cars to a majority travelling by public transport. For some, the idea that a bus full of workers should move faster than a luxury SUV is simply unacceptable.

@penguin_colony4 leave SG highway, even in the phase 3's ring line which will carry more than 2lakh pax a day on first day of its full oprtn is the last priority of GMRC as it is part of the Phase 3(C)

they first want to make the Phase 3A and 3B both are for builder lobby and olympics prep

Amdavad Metro circa 2030

Route alignment for phase-3 is guesstimated from GMRCL documents.

will be updating the map as more info comes out.

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@IndexofGujarat There were reports to extend GIFT spur till IIT

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@divujain tender for route alignment survey is out

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@gujjutweeter already in map

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@gujarat_com titanium tower has topped out

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

still can't believe the fact that entire SG highway will be transformed like this in next few years

Few more examples from the same area: 🧵

Pure clownery 🤡🤡

Media in other countries : Finally, city to get world class pedestrian friendly cities.

Our media: "By making wide footpaths they are reducing road width, hence resultiong in traffic issues."

@Tyagi__Ishan LoL!
encroached by parked vehicles

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@KarnavatiSpeaks still no BRT priority signalling

Recreating my own shot from 2 Years ago 😍 Bullet Over Narrow Gauge.

The spot where India's Fastest train will cross over One of India's slowest train. Grand future over Glorious Past. ✨

Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor by @nhsrcl crossing Bilimora Waghai Narrow Gauge Line by @WesternRly 🔥

Possibly the only Location on globe where a High Speed Rail Corridor will pass over a Narrow Gauge Rail Line (Suggestions welcomed). And I deeply wish, the NG line continues to be in service until Shinkansens run over the HSR Corridor ❤️

2 years back when I shot and shared a reel of same scene, there were just piers ahead of The Narrow Gauge line, now the Viaduct is finished, Noise barriers are up, Tracks have been laid, and OHE Mast Erection can be seen on the HSR line.

@IcodeInJava @takatakha most urban roads in western amd are pretty wide lookup any TP masterplan

u dont need four lane wide roads inside of the city

two lanes are more than enough, rest of the road width should be allocated for footpaths, cycling tracks, roadside vendor spaces, parkings etc

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@BusesDelhi @bhaumikgowande @SwitchMobility @ALIndiaOfficial I wish Amdavad had such low floor buses, all buses we have are standard floor coz they want interoperability with BRT corridors (never happens)

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@MetroGMRC any shame left? @titagarhgroup

You were supposed to deliver all 10-rakes of amdavad metro phase-2 by Q3-2025

its Q2-2026 now, and still not a single train-set has been delivered by you

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

Public : We want world-class European style walkable streets.

AMC : Sure, lets get you walkable streets.

Public : ....HOW DARE U REDUCE ROAD WIDTH TO MAKE WIDE FOOTPATHS AND DEDICATED CAR PARKING!!!!

[AMD Transit Nerd @AMDTransitNerd]

@the_cycledad No PIS "next janmarg station is ..." announcements?

@kansaratva temporary removable solar panels could be a great business idea
