Surat City Vision
The vision is to create a system that minimizes the need for travel,provides choices for modes that are safe,
sustainable socially, economically, financially and environmentally, and provide a global image for the city.
“A Global City with Global Standards and Global Values”
CMP & DPR for BRTS
OperationalizedBRTS
Formation of UTF
Proposal for formation of
UMTA
Multi‐modal Transit Hub
proposal under consideration
Steps taken up in transportation sector to achieve this vision
• Rapid Growth – 45 lakh population
• High City Mobility – 38 lakh Passenger trips per day
• Inadequacies in the road network•Lack of uniformity In ROW•Constraints – River, Canal, Khadi, Railway Line, encroachment
Mobility Challenges• Inadequate Public Transport3‐Wheelers act As Public Transit (7‐9 lakh trips)100 buses introduced recently (45 000 trips)
• Intrusion Of Regional Goods And Passenger Vehicles Into The Cities
• Congestion
• Sensitive Air Quality
40,000 auto rickshaws operating like public transport!
Surat With No Public Transport ...before 2007
Introduction of City Bus services in 2007Challenge for Surat to create Sustainable High Quality Public
Transport
Surat with Limited Public Transport…2007Sitilink – Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)..2014
• Surat prepared Comprehensive Mobility Plan in 2008, sanctioned under JnNURM
• Under the plan, the following strategies were prioritized– Structuring Regional Growth– Structuring Urban Landuse– Structuring Urban Road Network– Bicycle and Pedestrian plan– Mass Transit System Plan

Demand on existing road (without canal road) Demand on existing road (with canal road)BRTS Demand Analysis
Selecting Network – Canal Road BRTS
• Creating new opportunities ‐Developing new link‐ canal road
• Demand follows Supply
• Restructuring road network
• Alternative links developed to decongest existing ring road
Existing Ring road
Canal road
No RoadsBefore BRTS ‐ No Roads…200813 kms. Of Canal corridor was identified in BRTS network in phase 1.Partially there was no road, no traffic, degenerated use, encroachments on water front, canal degradationCentrally located canal acted as waste collection area, no transit opportunityLack of land use changesDegradation of surrounds, land prices, Quality of life..
Today…– With BRT (2014)
Transforming Constraints into OpportunitiesBRTS to be operational on this corridor by 2014.

Canal edge development
The purpose of canal is to supply water to irrigational areas from north to the south of city.Constructing canal edge lining for strengthening of edge, preventing water seepage, increasing velocity of water flowConstruction activity undertaken in short intervals of 14 days when the water supply is discontinued. Given this, precast technology was adopted.
Implementation
Canal road BRTS nearing Completion
Bus stations – Under construction on Canal
Cross‐ Section – Canal Corridor (Water front BRTS)
2008
Landuse transformations
• Major transformation in adjoining landuse / density through supplying transit facility
• Upgradation of canal and surrounds• Escalation in land prices envisaged

Introducing S‐Connect
Integrating BRTS with Feeder bus service network
Benchmark in Public Transport in India
‐Locations of origins anddestinations apart fromthe operational route
(Data based on OD surveyconducted by CEPT for 500sample surveys)
Proposed S‐Connect is planned considering passengers coming to and from railway station and SachinGIDC
S‐Connect : Linking Surat Railway station and SachinStage 1: Pilot Project
To be Operational by 1st September, 2014
Stage – I and II – Feeder Integration implementation
Stage – I Railway station to Kharwarnagar
Stage – II Sachin GIDC junction to Sachin Gaam
An Initiative of:
Surat city transport services has initiated the linking of ‘ S‐Connect’ as feeder system to Sitilink.
• Physical – Interchange station developed for easy transfer for passengers
• Fare – Integrated fare system developed with single ticketing system• ITS – GPS/GPRS and PIS system proposed to be installed in S‐Connect
buses to reduce travel time• Institutional – Agreement between Sitilink and S‐Connect is
developed
Schedule Integration• Time Savings• Ensuring minimum transfer waiting time for Commuter

Way Forward…•Route ExtensionsNew routes to be added based on network expansionsInitiaves to increase passenger ridership (Increased from 4000 to 7000 now and expected to grow)
•Feeder IntegrationIntegrated network BRT + Feeder Route rationalization plan (With the increase in number of routes, route rationalization has to be done for increase in passenger access)
•Smart city’s smart mobility solutionsCommon ticketing , ITS smart cards
•Development of Transit InfrastructuresMore workshop depots, Interchange stations, Driver’s facility to be developed
•Introduction of tenders for Maintenance of corridors and infrastructureHousekeeping tender, landscape maintenance etc is taken up for maintenance of the project. Trees have successfully been transplanted at various locations
•Procurement of buses with the increase in number of routesMore buses are in process of procurement. With the increase in number of routes bus procurement is scheduled. For Phase I – 30 km route __ buses needs to be procured .Order for 20 buses is already placed
