BRTS tickets will be affordable
Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL) has announced that tickets for Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) will be affordable.
AJL which will operate and maintain BRTS service in the city announced that passengers on these buses will have to pay a minimum of Rs 2 and maximum of Rs 11, once the system starts functioning from RTO to Chandranagar, probably next month.
In comparison to fare structure of Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) buses, the BRTS bus fare will be 1.5 times more. This was endorsed in the AJL board meeting on Wednesday.
Deputy municipal commissioner and in-charge of BRTS UC Padia said, "The minimum fare on the BRTS route from RTO to Chandrnagar has been decided Rs 2 minimum and Rs 11 maximum. This is marginal increase from the existing fare rate of AMTS."
"We are charging Rs 2 for a kilometre on BRTS. The 235 feeder CNG bus service will come by December. The feeder bus service will facilitate the movement of passengers from their nearest AMTS bus stops to BRTS bus stands," he said
AJL authorities have also identified eight parking stretches along the BRTS route. According to AJL members, these stretches will have a capacity of 679 autorickshaws, 3,624 two-wheelers, 425 four- wheelers. The autorickshaws can park their vehicles free of cost on the stretch.
However, the final launch date of BRTS is still under wraps. Standing committee chairperson of AMC and board member of AJL Asit Vora said, "Within a month's time, the BRTS will get operational in the city from RTO to Chandranagar. The AJL will also be adding 20 air-conditioned buses for BRTS but their fares will be decided later."

That's great. If you like eating out, these are some great gift cards for McDonald's and Burger King.
I tried them and they really work.
McDonald's vs. Burger King $250 Gift Card
Free McDonald's vs. Burger King $250 Gift Card!
This is hot if you like eating fast food sometimes. Although I don't recommend eating out a lot but you can still
share them with family members and friends. You can get some free coupons for McDonalds and
Burger King.
