1. To be people’s chosen brand universally, in mobility solutions, by serving beyond their
expectations for every journey whilst adding value to all stakeholders and society at large
Smart Mobility
for
Smart City

2. Magic Motorways
(freeways) will make
congestion a thing of
the past :
Designer
GM Futurama
This is what expert
believed in 1939 :
Old Theory: Wider roads better mobility

3. Plan movement of Automobiles to manage Mobility
This is what they
believed in 1960
“If we build enough
highways, we can lick
congestion”
Robert Moses 1960

4.  90% of the vehicles ( Scooters and Cars) carry only 23% people
 1% vehicles ( buses) carry 27% people
Balance Investment between Roads , NMT , Pedestrian and Public
Transport Infrastructure
Balance Investment between Roads , NMT , Pedestrian and Public
Transport Infrastructure
Smart theory : Plan Mobility of people

5. Carry more people and not vehicles

6. 2015 - We still Plan for Automobiles
• Believe flyovers can solve
Mobility problems!
• Believe widening of road is
the right solution!
• People will manage their
own mobility!
• Mobility would improve if
Government build road and
bridges!

7. How can we avoid this in smart city
• Advertising slogans or reality “Public Ka Naya Transport”

8. Effect of ignoring investment in Pedestrian, NMT & Public
Transport infrastructure
Growth of personal vehicles. Diminishing percentage of Public transport

9. Urban population V/S Number of buses
China
100
300
200
400
500
Population in Mn.
Russia S.Korea Turkey India Brazil Japan Germany Mexico
Buses in Thousand
2000
4000
6000
8000
10000
12000
Population Buses

10. “Transport is NOT a technical
problem.
It is a political decision”
-Enrique Penalosa, Former Mayor, Bogota

11. Reduction in number of vehicles on Road means less traffic problems, pollution and accidents
Less expenditure on Road Building means more resources available for other improvements
Less consumption of fuel means Saving on Foreign exchange and scarce natural resource..
Less Expenditure on travel and reduced journey time
Enhanced Productivity and more quality time to citizens
Good Public Transport can make city Smart
City will become efficient , effective and sustainable

12. Key features of high quality transit
BRT Metro LRT monorail
Dedicated ROW
Safe, easy step less boarding
Electronic fare payment
Real-time passenger information
High quality service can attract
users from personal vehicles

13. BRT does some things that others don’t
BRT Metro LRT monorail
Quick & easy access to stations /
Capacity over > 20,000 pphpd
Multiple services per corridor
Express services
Affordability for customers
& the city

14. Develop People friendly integrated Public transport

15. Improve quality of life and not cost of life

16. Seoul built a 5.4 km highway through its City
Center. It cost over $100 million in the
1970s
Today they have taken it down. 65 additional
flyovers are slated for removal
Before 1970 After 2005
We can learn from others mistakes and leap frog 35 years by
adopting modern urban concepts & designs
Build cities for People and not for Automobiles

17. Making decision makers aware

18. Monorail: 6.7 km
Underground metro: 2.5 km
Plan to serve larger population in given budget
BRT: 67 km
Elevated metro: 5.0 km
What can be built with - 1,000 Cr.?

19. Transit capacity PHPD
Plan according to traffic requirement
Mode of travel

20. Things to consider seriously in Indian context
Cost per corridor of 100KM / 10 years BRT Metro
Infrastructure 150 Cr. 2500 Cr.
Cost of the 26 BRTS AC buses 16 Cr. -
Running cost for ten years @ present value 245 Cr. Not Known
Total cost of running corridor for 10 Yrs. 401 Cr.
Delhi metro Capital cost - Rs. 29000 Cr. carry 27 lac passengers per day
DTC with less than 1/10 capital cost carry 50 Lac passengers per day

21. No Route Total Traffic PHPD
1 Satara Road 200000 14000
2 Sholapur Road 150000 10000
3 Yerawada to Vishrant wadi 60000 4000
4 Ahemad Nagar Road 40000 3000
5 Sinhgarh Road 34000 3000
7 Mundhwa By Pass 34000 3000
12 Sangamwadi to Kharadi 100000 7000
13 Paud Road 20000 2000
14 Old Mumbai Road 500000 35000
15 Yerawada To Bhairobanala 100000 7000
16 Baner Road 60000 4000
1298000
Example Pune

22.  Capital cost of proposed Pune Metro - 11500 Cr.
 Serve less than 2 lac passengers/day ( 2% of Population)
 Capital cost of 3000 buses - 1000 cr.
 Annual cost of operation - 900 cr. ( less than interest on metro capital)
 Serve 25 lac passenger/day ( 25% of population)
Metro is aspiration, more of a feel good factor but
Buses can serve ten times more people at 10 % cost.
Case: Pune Metro

23. It is not about Rail or Bus, it is about serving more people

24. Way forward

25. Step 1 : Plan smartly

26. Let us build Smart city for “People” not for Automobiles
• City which is sustainable and makes citizens efficient & effective
• Where technology is used for betterment of Peoples life
• Where Mobility is a pleasure and not a torture
• Where People have more respect than Vehicles.
• Where children can freely go to school, cycling or walking
• Where people have many opportunities to make friends.
• City with lot of greenery, play grounds and public places to keep citizens
happy & healthy.
