Ahmedabad
River Sabarmati, "the Manchester of the East", epicentre of many campaigns of civil disobedience. Natural calamities, political instability and outbreaks of communal violence. Kite flying, Garba, Navratri, procession of Tajia. Gujarati thali, buttermilk, laddoos. Kankaria lake, Sidi-Sayed-Jali, Zhulta Minar (swinging minarets), Lal Darwaja (Red Gate), Sarkhej. Dusty roads and bungalows, skyscrapers, shopping malls and multiplexes. National highway 8, Golden quadrilateral, AMTS, auto rickshaws and CNG. What about traffic woes?

Ahmedabad to follow city’s traffic system

Ahmedabad has a vehicular population of over 17 lakhs of which 75 per cent are two-wheelers. The travel time in the city has been increasing day-by-day.

Quote:
The successful trial of the system in Pune, C-DAC has been approached for implementing the system in Jaipur and Ahemadabad. Vikas Sahay, Ahmedabad additional commissioner of police, who attended the function on Thursday has shown willingness for the system to be implemented in their city.
The roads in down town Pune are very narrow. “If a bus halts in the midst of the road, the traffic behind it also halts. But we cannot change the situation of road, we can upgrade the traffic system...

I think that plan is cancelled...Ahmedabad has taken a different route, placing its faith in bus rapid transport.
