BRTS road at Arilova comes under simhachalam transist corridor
Visakhapatnam BRTS :-The implementation of the bus rapid transit system has been taken up as a high-capacity public transport system in Visakhapatnam keeping in view the projected multi-fold increase in traffic and constraints of road capacity.
A Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) was approved for the city under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
This project was started in 2008 and most of the route has been constructed except for a 2km stretch near Simhachalam.[1] The delay is due to issues in land acquisition from railways, defence and private parties.[2]
Bus Rapid Transport System projects of about 42 km in Vizag city at a total cost of about ₹452 crore. The BRTS would be implemented with a joint finance from the Andhra Pradesh government (20 %) and Government of India (50 %) under JNNURM, and GVMC (30 %).
