Kolkata BRTS is a proposed bus rapid transit system taken up by KMDA. Beginning at Ultadanga, the route will cover 15.5 km running along the E M Bypass to Garia. The corridor connects major growth centres like Ultadanga, Salt Lake, Tangra Metropolitan, Anandapur, Mukundapur and Patuli township.[1]

Till date (February 2022), work is not completed with no updates from authorities. A decade worth of no advancement or updates indicates that this project was terminated in its initial stages. BRTS seems to have been overshadowed by its more glamorous kin — the metro.
