ere is a need of urgently taking up the study of introducing metro rail and a bus rapid transit system (BRTS) in the city to arrest the chaotic traffic condition on the streets.[2]

Feasibility Study[edit]

The survey of the proposed project will include preliminary exercises such as a study of the number of commuters in different areas of the city at different times of the day and a calculation of the estimated cost of the project.[3] The survey will conduct a track type feasibility study at different places. Three types are considered 1. Underground Track, 2. Overground track, 3. Elevated track .The Khanapara - Jalukbari route will have Overground & Elevated tracks because this route is not congested. The other two routes will be a combination of Underground and Elevated tracks. Route

Three corridors have been planned by GMDA . Corridor 1: Airport to Narengi via Jalukbari, Bharalumukh, Fancy Bazar, Chandmari, Noonmati connecting eastern and western part of the city with a length of 32.4 km[4]
