    The urban challenge document discusses India's growing urbanization and the resulting mobility challenges in major cities. It notes that India has the 2nd largest urban population in the world at over 310 million people. Rapid motorization has led to 8 times growth in vehicles compared to 2 times population growth in major cities from 1981-2001. Existing public transportation systems are inadequate, with city bus ridership declining from 11% to 1% of total vehicles. The document evaluates different public transportation options like BRT, LRT, metro and recommends BRT as a viable solution for Indian cities given its infrastructure costs and ability to reduce road congestion. It provides examples of proposed and existing BRT projects in cities like Pune, Indore, Bhop

    The urban challenge

    2nd Largest 310 million people


    urban system
    in the world
    5161 cities & towns

    About
    60% of
    GDP
    Urbanization scenario
    • As per 2001 census
    • 7 mega-cities (> 4 million population)
    • 28 cities in 1 – 4 million population range
    • 13 cities in 0.8 to 1.0 million range,
    • will cross 1 million by next census (even at
    2.5% growth)
    • 40 cities in 0.5 to 1 million
    Mobility Challenges
    • In 6 Metro Cities, during 1981 to 2001:
    • Population increase - 2 times
    • Motor vehicles increase - 8 times
    • Focus on vehicles, big investments
    • Inadequacies in road network
    • Inadequate Public Transport
    • No improvement in City bus Service over the last 60 years;
    • Only 20 cities have organized City Bus Service
    • Share of buses declined from 11% in 1951 to 1% (2004) of
    all registered vehicles
    • Urban Transport – A state subject
    • High Road Fatalities
    Cities have been taken over by
    motor vehicles

    Pune traffic scenario

    share

    walking 37%
    2 wheeler & cars 23%
    cycling 18%
    public transport 22%
    How it is implemented in India
    1. Pilot project
    2. Rs. 63 crore.
    3. Stretch of the route.
    4. Lay out of the road
    5. Number of junction
    6. Number of bus station.
    No level boarding causes inconveniences to
    passengers and increases dwell times Inadequate pedestrian crossings

    Overcrowded buses Hadapsar Terminal


    Gaps Identified
    • Proposals not part of an overall vision for the city
    • Projects do not INTEGRATE:
    -Land use & transportation
    -Pedestrian facilities particularly safety
    -NMV facilities and feeder system
    -Parking Facilities
    -With terminals-Road, Rail & Air
    •Initial Operation: 2006
    •Length: 14.8 Km (3.6 Km bus way;
    94.6 Km planned)
    •Stations: 27 bus stops
    •Ridership: N/A; 3,600pphpd
    •Frequency: 30 buses/hr
    •Commercial Speed: 14-16 Km/hr
    •Median lane buswayson Arterial –open system
    •Small shelters with narrow platforms –
    insufficient bays, non-level boarding
    •Manual fare collection –on board, no central
    control
    Conclusion

    • FAILURE OF MANAGEMENT
    1.Running of bus services
    2.Condition of buses
    3.Co-0rdination b/w signal and bus
    4.Vehicular traffic control system
    5.Maintenance of buses
    6.Pedestrian crossing
    7.Pollution of bus
