[[Hubli-Dharwad Bus Rapid Transit System]] (also known as HDBRTS) is a bus rapid transit system built to serve the twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad, located in the North-Western part of Karnataka state in India. Hubli-Dharwad BRTS (HDBRTS) project is a Government of Karnataka initiative to foster long-term economic growth in the region. The project promotes fast, safe, comfortable, convenient and affordable public transportation between the twin cities and aims to reduce congestion and air pollution in the region.

The length of the Hubli-Dharwad BRTS corridor is {{cvt|22.25|km}} from CBT Hubli to CBT–Dharwad with the width of the cross-sections ranging from {{cvt|44 to 35|m}}. The BRTS corridor includes segregated bus lanes, access-controlled bus stations, physical and fare integration with BRT feeder services, off-board ticketing through smart cards and bar-coded paper tickets, intelligent transport system and high-quality buses (Standard AC buses). The corridor is designed for operating regular and express services. It consists of two lanes for BRTS buses on either side of the median bus station facilitating overtaking lanes for express services. Foot overbridges at six locations, PELICAN signals, and synchronised signal management are proposed to facilitate the easy approach of passengers to bus stations.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.hdbrts.com/|title=HDBRTS|website=hdbrts.com|access-date=18 February 2021|language=te|archive-date=28 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210228184933/https://www.hdbrts.com/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
