'''Mumbai BRTS''' is a [[bus rapid transit system]] in [[Mumbai]], India.

==History==
The project was taken up by the [[Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai|MCGM]], [[Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport|B.E.S.T Undertaking]], and [[MMRDA]] to ease the traffic conditions of [[Mumbai]] and improve bus services. A BRTS fleet consisting of the BEST Undertaking's CNG powered [http://www.jcbl.com JCBL] Cerita buses, [[Tata Starbus]]es, and [[Marcopolo S.A.|Tata Marcopolo Buses]] was introduced in 2008. However, the BRTS did not have dedicated lanes and had to share roads with regular traffic with no right of way privileges. This resulted in a system that was a BRTS only in name.

The project to provide a BRTS with dedicated lanes was first proposed in 2003.<ref name="Times 1">{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/Special-lanes-for-BEST-a-welcome-experiment/Article1-925829.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130208082442/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/Special-lanes-for-BEST-a-welcome-experiment/Article1-925829.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 February 2013|first=Alok|last=Deshpande|title=Special lanes for BEST a welcome experiment|work=Hindustan Times|date=7 September 2012|access-date=27 September 2014}}</ref>

On 7 September 2012, BEST announced that it would build BRTS with dedicated lanes on [[Jeejabai Bhosle Marg|Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road]] (GMLR).<ref name="Times 2">{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/City-to-get-first-dedicated-lane-for-BEST-buses/Article1-925799.aspx|first=Alok|last=Deshpande|title=City to get first dedicated lane for BEST buses|work=Hindustan Times|date=7 September 2012|access-date=27 September 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019022618/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/City-to-get-first-dedicated-lane-for-BEST-buses/Article1-925799.aspx|archive-date=19 October 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The project will cost {{INRConvert|2070.9|m}} and will require widening the GMLR and paving the service road with concrete.<ref name="Times 2"/>

In 2015 it was revealed that Mumbai's first BRTS corridor would actually be along the [[Western Express Highway]].<ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/mumbai-s-first-brts-corridor-may-house-metro-in-future/story-SacVWgoD4pOdrrREw4YuNO.html Hindustan Times]</ref> BRTS service is also planned for the [[Eastern Express Highway]].<ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/bus-stops-here-bmc-moots-special-lanes/story-uLrzvMRRKi8PIwko1UvULI.html Hindustan Times]</ref>
