Urgent - 300km Delhi BRT Project Would Cause 600 Deaths Every Year
Honorable Members of Parliament,
Sir,
President
Obama lowered National Flags for a week all over in Mourning Deaths of 6
Sikhs in a Shoot Out at a Gurudwara, Here 41 deaths and over 128 major
accidents over just 5 kilometer section is not EVEN CONSIDERED SERIOUS
ENOUGH TO WARRANT SCRAPPING IT such is the Reckless Conduct of Delhi
government.
Technically
Delhi BRT section in operation is much less than 5.8Km as Motor
Vehicles crossing Moolchand Double Flyover arrive at Siri Fort Red light
in just over a minute. Thus technically BRT section in operation is
less than 5 kilometer.
Thus Delhi BRT has 8 Fatal Accidents per kilometer in four years or 2Deaths/BRTKm/Year.
This
means if Delhi had implanted 300 BRT route length it would have
resulted in 600 Deaths per year or 2400 deaths in four years.
Kindly do the needful to Scrap this World’s Most Mindless Project.

41 dead, 150 hurt in brt’s 4 years
May 30, 2012
At
least 41 people have lost their lives and 150 were injured in road
accidents in the past four years on the Delhi government’s most
ambitious project Bus-Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor. The government data
came out during the Delhi Assembly session. BJP MLA Jagdish Mukhi asked
the question from the transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely about the
accidents on the corridor. The transport minister, in a written answer
said “37 serious accidents and 128 small accidents were witnessed on the
BRT during the time period of four years (from May one 2008 to May 15
2012).”
Maximum fatal accidents were witnessed in year 2010 when a total of 19 deaths were reported on the BRT. BJP MLA Jagdish Mukhi alleged that the accidents are taking place because of the defect design of the corridor
