Indian Cities and Mobility Scenario

• 2009 : 15260 buses sanctioned for 67 cities. 14000 buses purchased for 63 cities

• Nine cities adopted BRTS systems • 2013-14 - Additional 10000 buses

and ancillary infrastructure was sanctioned for Rs 4500 crores but only Rs 20% was utilized

• Failure to build institutions (SPVs)

to operate the bus systems, lack of robust fare policies and non adherence to schedule and routes

• Few agencies (Karnataka State

Road Transport Corporation and Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation) planned and implemented support infrastructure (bus stops, bus depots and operation centers)

• Lack of feeder services at intermediate and final destinations

• Congestion

• Cities with population more than 8 million:

• average trip length of 10.4 km

• average speed of 17 kmph (as against the stated speed of 30kmph)

• The average speed is projected to reduce to half ( 9kmph) by 2021 and one-third (6 kmph) by 2031.

• Vehicle Restraint Measures, Road Space Allocation, Parking Management

• Role of Technology • Bus Signal Prioritization • Real Time Passenger
