Growth direction: along the corridor between the two cities.
Travel Characteristics
• Two lane road.
•
•
•
•
Average time taken: Peak period : 64 mins
Public transport: main mode.
0.17 million use PT every day.
PT operator: NWKRTC, a state government
undertaking.
• 6000-7000 PHPDT.
Buses comprises 7 % of total traffic along the corridor;
carry 70 % of the passengers.
Context
Project sanctioned for
widening of two lanes to four
lanes.
Overall PT mode share for the
twin cities: 30%
Two-wheelers: 67% of total
vehicles.
Vehicle growth rate: 9.5 %
Mobility plan projected drop
in PT share to 25% by 2028.
Concerns for PT
45% of fleet over-aged, Congested buses, poor infrastructure, lack of
last mile connectivity.
ISSUES
Wouldn’t widening to four lanes be enough?
Is BRT required at this point of time?
• BRT-land acquisition costs, resettlement
issues.
Wouldn’t widening to four lanes be enough?
• Present V/C : 1.3
• Even with 4 laning : V/C > 1 before 2020.
• With BRTS, V/C : 0.84 in 2031.
Is BRT required at all?
BRT-land acquisition; costs, resettlement issues.
High EIRR( 29.5%)
Benefits: savings in vehicle operating costs, commuter
time, benefits due to accident reduction, savings due to
reduction in carbon emissions etc. Total benefits valued
at US $ 611 million in present value terms.
Makeover of PT required to retain present share; to
attract more commuters.
Public transport needs focus - NOW not LATER.
OPERATING COSTS NEED NOT BE SUBSIDIZED.
