Indore Removes BRTS Corridor on AB Road Amid High Court Concerns Over Usage

The Indore Municipal Corporation has removed the 11.5-km Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor along AB Road, including 17 bus stops and railings, to improve traffic flow. However, the Madhya Pradesh High Court expressed concerns over underutilisation of the corridor, especially between Bholaram Ustad Marg Square and Holkar College, due to flyover constructions and obstructions like illegal parking. Authorities have been directed to take remedial actions, including clearing hazards and coordinating with development bodies to enhance corridor use and ensure safety.
