This study is sub activity of Megacity Project named
“Sustainable Hyderabad”
Strategic transport model from Megacity Project is the
base for the model developed in this study
Objectives are to asses the existing bus network in the
study area and to measure the impact of options
suggested to improve the bus network
General

Methodology
Selection of Planning area
Data Collection
Detailed Network Modeling in VISUM & Calibration of Bus Network
Analysis of Bus Network
Suggestions/Improvements
Measure the Impact of suggestions/improvements in bus network
Planning Area for Pilot Study
Size: 19 sqkm
Population: 0.7 mio.
National highways
Three MMTS Stops
Three Bus Depots
Network Modelling
Total of 130 bus stop
locations in study area
193 line routes both in up
and down direction with
headway less than one hour
and passing through the
planning area with exact
routing and serving all stops
within the planning area are
integrated.

Findings
Areas not having accessibility to public transport
Findings
Major Corridors with very high in number of service trips
– potential reason for congestion
Suggestions to improve bus network
15
Small scale improvements
– Rerouting of line routes in order to improve accessibility to
the catchment areas
– New stops in increasing the area coverage
Network restructuring towards MRTS and main bus corridors
– Less trips
– Articulated buses
– Hierarchical network with feeder facilities
Small Scale Improvements in current
network

Additional bus stops for better accessibility
Rerouting of line route (route 94R) ending at Nampally railway station for an improved accessibility to Nampally railway station
Creation of new line route connecting Nampally and Kachiguda train stations via Himayath Nagar road (30 minutes headway, 6 kilometre distance, 18 minutes run time)

Conclusions
Accessibility to bus stops was increased by providing new stops
in the study area which resulted in better access to approximately
40,000 people.
Introducing preferential high capacity bus transport system on
the major potential corridors resulted in decreased number of
service trips and buses to run over these corridors.
According to the transportation model operating kilometres are
reduced by more than 16,000 per day.
The number of ordinary bus vehicles declines by 47, while 16
new articulated busses would be needed additionally.
