Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Containing traffic menace has been one of the important issues of transport governance. The problem of traffic congestion, cause pollution and a rise in global temperature through the release of greenhouse gases (GHG), wasted time at work, stress, and contemporary health problems. However, because of its negative consequences on the environment, human health, and society as a whole, private transportation is no longer sustainable. The efficient use of road space requires improved traffic management, which focuses on moving people instead of moving vehicles. With safety and sustainable transportation for cities, public transportation has become a viable alternative to private transportation. Buses, light rail transit (LRT), subway systems, trams, monorails, and BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) are just a few of the public transportation choices that are now in use and offer sustainable urban transportation options. As such the present paper analyses the transport governance in the context of the prospects of BRT in India by examining internal efficiency and quality commuter conveniences in the metro cities Ahmedabad, Indore, Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. The study was conducted using the Qualitative analysis through observation and interview method. The findings are the Ahmedabad BRT is qualitatively superior to the other both in the terms of expansion, enhancing internal efficiency and quality and affordable services, whereas Pune has utterly failed in comparison with PimpriChinchwad. Indore is reflecting the characteristics of the BRT in the limited space against the claims of expansion. – Reproduced
