Bengaluru, Karnataka, India is known as the “City of Two Wheelers” because of its large two-wheeler population; additionally, during rush hour the city's traffic is notoriously congested, resulting in traffic jams and lengthy travel times. To address this issue, the Bengaluru Municipal Corporation devised a plan to implement the BRTS in December 2006, and it was successfully implemented on a 16-km stretch, making Bengaluru the first city in India to do so. This system has dedicated bus lanes and signaling, and is thus independent of on-road traffic, to encourage Bengaluru motorists to take the BRTS instead of driving, with the goal of reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Currently, with a total system length of 66 km, and some more which is proposed, and 92 stations, sanctioned under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), BRTS is now one of the most significant transportation systems in Bengaluru. BRTS compares the cost, length, stations across each route, etc. between them. Each line of BRTS has different lengths, different corridor widths, and different number of stations. This study is for comparing these key factors through graphs, and then analyzing them.
