A bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Manmohan Singh said the project was implemented for long term keeping in mind the growing population and lack of scope to expand the width of city roads.
It dismissed NGO Nyaya Bhoomi's plea which had alleged that the BRT was aimed at harassing commuters and was a "complete wastage" of the public money.
"Even if we were to accept the argument that as of today, with the implementation of BRT corridor some inconvenience is being caused across the board to everybody, we have to keep in mind that planning is always long-term and the fruits of the labour and sweat invested today may not be available in immediate future.
"There being no scope to expand the width of the existing roads and the population of Delhi continuously being on rise, we see no escape from the fact that the citizens of Delhi have to, one day or the other, use public transport. On said reason also, it cannot be said that implementation of BRT corridors in the city of Delhi is an irrational decision," the bench said.
The Delhi government early this week has decided to seven more BRT corridors in the city. (MORE)
