 Existing scenario ….

 Chaos at bus shelters

 Bus stops in the middle of the road; commuters don’t use bus shelters
 Commuters cross six lanes to access bus shelters
 ABOUT 4.5 lakh REGISTERED VEHICLES (2007)
 Cars (12%), Two Wheeler (73%), Autos (6%)  90%
 CITY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
 600 CITY BUSES
 DAILY PUBLIC TRANSPORT TRIPS – 3 lakh
 SUPPLY OF 25 CITY BUSES / lakh RESIDENTS
 PASSENGER DEMAND IS SHOWING DECREASING TRENDS
 TOTAL ROAD ACCIDENTS 1000
 10% ARE FATAL
 239 PERSONS KILLED
 INTERMEDIATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT (AUTORICKSHAW &

VIEW OF VIZAG CITY

 THERE ARE ABOUT 4.5 LAKH (BY NOV 2007) REGISTERED VEHICLES
- 90% ARE CARS & TWO WHEELERS
 TRAVEL DEMAND OF 12 LAKH PASSENGER TRIPS PER DAY
 PRIVATE VEHICLES CONTRIBUTE TO 65% OF TRAVEL NEEDS (7.8
LAKH TRIPS)
 TRAVEL DEMAND PROJECTED TO GROW TO 16 & 28 LAKH TRIPS PER
DAY BY 2011 AND 2021
 IN FUTURE ROAD CAPACITY WILL BE A CONSTRAINT
 TRANSPORT NETWORK WILL NOT ONLY REQUIRE EXPANSION BUT
WIDENING / STRENGTHENING, AS WELL ..
 ARREST THIS TREND AND PROMOTE PUBLIC TRANSPORT - TARGET
ABOUT 50% MODAL SPLIT BY 2011 (present share below 20%)
 THEREFORE, PLANNING, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A HIGH
CAPACITY PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IS A PRE-REQUISITE

 It is estimated that about 10% of Cars, Two
Wheeler and Cycle passengers will shift to BRT
 Highest shift of passengers is likely to be 50%
from auto rickshaw commuters – current fares
are higher than city bus
 The Growth of the nation is dependant on its
transport system
 BRTS provides
 Savings in fuel consumption in terms of foreign
currency
 Safety to users
 Faster commutation
 Attraction of foreign tourists

BRTS can be implemented under BOT system, which

reduces initial investment by government

Hence there is an urgent need to improve the transport

system and the only answer is BRTS
