3. Need of TransportNeed of Transport
Market situation :
 Extensive urbanization and evolution of passengers
needs and expectations
India’s Urban population in 2026 will be 53,48,09,000
 Poor quality and capacity of bus systems
 Huge increase of fuel prices

Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable Development
It means “Meets the needs of the present
population without compromising the ability of
future generation to meet their own needs.”

5. 5
In the last 50 years…
Increased use of
motor vehicles
Unsustainable
urban transport
Greenhouse gas
emissions
Ill-health due to air
and noise pollution.
Congestion
EFFECTS
Total carbon dioxide
equivalent gases emission
in 2010 is 46000 million
metric tons.

Some Advantages of Tramways
It can carry huge amount of goods and passengers at a time
because it has a large carrying capacity.
The capital investment required for tramways are less in
comparison to rail transport. Since it requires less investment,
the carrying charges are considerably low.
In this mode of transport the chances of accidents and
breakdown is less and therefore does not involve much cost on
reorganization and restructure.

9.  These are operated in busy
areas when other modes of
transport fails.
 It is regarded as the most
economical mode of transport.
 Travelling by tram is much
more enjoyable for users than
on other public transport.

10.  200 passengers can be carried.
 The TRAM can stop and start
faster, which provides the
system with enhanced safety
and speed.
 The tram’s low center of
gravity reduces the sensation
of dizziness or movement.

11. Some features of Tramways:
Reduction of noise nuisance
 Use of insulating materials
 Improvement of the wheel-rail contact with acoustic dampers
 Emission of 5 dB sound less than automotive traffic

12. Access to all
Tram vehicles are fully accessible to persons with reduced mobility

13. Recyclability
Use of reusable materials such as steel, aluminium and copper
minimum recyclability rate of 85%

14. City PlanningCity Planning
The Tramway is an good opportunity to
reshape the Urban Environment.
The Tramway is a landmark in the city
(Orientation, identification).
It gives a strong image in planned city
manner.
It facilitates the city development
(Transport, business activities, pedestrian
friendly)

Before the tramway:
50,000 vehicles/Day
After the tramway:
26,000 vehicles/Day

19. Impact on city
Increase real estate value along line
(between 25 and 100% depending on
location and features)
Commercial areas development along
the line
Most difficult part of the project : to
regain space against cars or buses once
abandoned years ago…

20. Modern Tramway Systems 20
 Many of the citizens currently use PT.
 Current PT service and regulation have some deep weaknesses
that shall be fixed anyway.
 Investing in public transport means doing something for the
majority of citizens.
 Investing for private transport means trigger a process that
increases the traffic.
 Current Growth of car ownership makes this moment the “right
moment”
ConclusionsConclusions

21. Modern Tramway Systems 21
Time has proven that most countries made huge mistake in
managing urban mobility during last 50 years.
This brought congestion and health problems related to pollution to
increase more and more.
So it is required to build up the Efficient, Economic, Less time
Consuming, Safer & Sustainable Development of the Public
Transport.
