A detailed survey based on public utility services including hospitals,railway station,parks and others is conducted before making new routes operational. Also,with the BRTS average running speed of 25-km per hour within city areas,it is much faster than any private vehicle,thus making it preferable for commuters, said Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) Municipal Commissioner Guruprasad Mohapatra.
