3
Busways and Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)
Physically demarcated bus lanes
along the main carriageway with a
segregated corridor for movement of
buses only.
At the intersections, the buses may be
given priority over other modes through
a signaling system.
It incorporates the facilities for
pedestrians, Non-Motorized Vehicles
(NMV) and many other associated
infrastructures including operations and
control mechanism.
4
Light Rail Transit (LRT)
Generally at-grade rail based mass
transit system, which is generally
segregated
from
the
main
carriageway.
In some cases, elevated section
also.
5
Tramways
These are at-grade rail based system
that are not segregated and often
move in mixed traffic conditions.
In India, Tramways now exist only in
Kolkata.
6
Regional Rail and Sub-Urban Trains
Regional rail caters to passenger
services
within
a
larger
urban
agglomerate or metropolitan area
connecting the outskirts to the center of
the city.
The services have greater number of
halts at smaller distances compared to
long distance railways but fewer halts
and higher speeds compared to metro
rail.
Regional rail are common in large
metropolitan cities and help in
decongesting the city center by
providing safe, and speedy access to
the city center for commuters residing in
less congested suburbs.
7
Metro Rail
Metro rail is a fully segregated rail
based mass transit system, which could
be at grade, elevated or underground.
Due to its physical segregation and
system technology, metro rail can have
a very high capacity of 40,000 – 80,000
passengers per hour per direction
(PPHPD).
8
Mono Rail
Similar to metro rails but with lower
capacities and higher maintenance cost.
9
Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS)
For improving regional mobility in NCR
region, projects of linking cities in NCR
region across three major axes: Delhi –
Meerut; Delhi –Panipat and Delhi-Alwar
are under consideration of the
government of India and State
Government.
Approx. three times speed higher than
the speed of metro.
10
Why Metro Rail?

Urbanization – Population rise in cities – 28.53% in 2001 and 34% in 2017.

To reduce the traffic congestion in the roads.

Substantially reduce the pollution emission resulting health benefits.

To reduce per capita vehicle ownership.

To reduce the traffic accidents in roads.

To reduce the congestion in existing railway systems.

To improve the quality of life.

To reduce the cost of production of goods and services to some extent.

Planning of Metro Rail

Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic (PHPDT)

Population of the city / urban agglomeration

Average Trip Length

Availability and opportunity cost of Land

Morphology of the City

Funding Capacity

Technical Feasibilities including constructability

FUNDING – METRO PROJECTS
Different Modes of Funding:

SPV having 50:50 equity partnerships between central and concerned State
Governments. Example: Mumbai Line-3, Chennai, Bengaluru, Nagpur,
Lucknow, Kochi and Ahmedabad.

Full funding by the central government. Example: Kolkata metro rail by Indian
Railways.

Funding by state government. Example: Metro rail in Jaipur and Monorail in
Mumbai.

Public Private Partnership (PPP). Example: Mumbai Metro Line- 1 and
Hyderabad metro through Viability Gap Funding.

Full funding by private entity. Example: Rapid Metro in Gurugram.

External Loans agencies – JICA, ADB, AIIB, NDB and World Bank etc.
