• Two lane road.• Average time taken: Peak period : 64 mins• Public transport: main mode. • 0.17 million use PT every day. • PT operator: NWKRTC, a state government
undertaking.• 6000-7000 PHPDT.
Buses comprises 7 % of total traffic along the corridor; carry 70 % of the passengers.
ContextProject sanctioned for
widening of two lanes to four lanes.
Overall PT mode share for the twin cities: 30%
Two-wheelers: 67% of total vehicles.
Vehicle growth rate: 9.5 %Mobility plan projected drop
in PT share to 25% by 2028.
Concerns for PT45% of fleet over-aged, Congested buses, poor infrastructure, lack of
last mile connectivity.
ISSUES
Wouldn’t widening to four lanes be enough?
Is BRT required at this point of time?• BRT-land acquisition costs, resettlement
issues.
• Present V/C : 1.3
• Even with 4 laning : V/C > 1 before 2020.
• With BRTS, V/C : 0.84 in 2031.
Wouldn’t widening to four lanes be enough?
Is BRT required at all?BRT-land acquisition; costs, resettlement issues.
High EIRR( 29.5%)Benefits: savings in vehicle operating costs, commuter time, benefits due to accident reduction, savings due to reduction in carbon emissions etc. Total benefits valued at US $ 611 million in present value terms.
Makeover of PT required to retain present share; to attract more commuters.
Public transport needs focus - NOW not LATER.
OPERATING COSTS NEED NOT BE SUBSIDIZED.
