PLANNING RAIL BASED TRANSITFOR BETTER LIVING
S.K.GUPTADIRECTOR(PROJECTS),Mumbai Metro Rail Corp. LtdMumbai
Background
• While authorities are proceeding with planning andimplementation of Metros in cities, my aim in thispresentation would be to focus on aspects, whichhave been recognised in various policies, but gettingneglected in the pace of sanctioning and completingthese projects.
• Due to this we are missing on the best opportunitiesavailable for a better living in future.

Background
3
• Urban areas support industry and service sector contributing to India’seconomic growth
• Problems faced by urban areas include• Explosive growth in the number of vehicles leading to traffic congestions• Cost of travel has increased considerably• Increased road accidents leading to a risk to life• Personalized transport causing higher air pollution and associated health risks
• India’s urbanpopulation is about30% of its totalpopulation
• Urban population ofIndia projected to beabout 473 million by2021 and 820 millionby 2051

• Authorities are trying to fix these problems.• Courtesy successful implementation of MRTS in
Delhi, States are encouraged and rushingtowards catching up the shortfall in rail basedurban transport.
• The key focus as of now is on providing transitinfrastructure.

Current Status of Metro Projects• On-Going/Completed Metro Projects
• Delhi Metro Phase I & II (Completed), Phase III in Progress• Bangalore Phase I (Partly Commissioned), Phase II in Progress• Chennai Metro Rail Project (Partly Commissioned)• Rapid Metro (Gurgaon) ( Partly Completed)• Kolkata Metro Rail Project (Partly Commissioned)• Mumbai Line – 1 (Commissiones)• Jaipur Metro Rail Project (Partly Commissioned)• Kochi Metro Rail Project• Lucknow Metro Rail Project• Mumbai Metro Line 3• Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project• Nagpur Metro Rail Project Phase – 1

• As of now core emphasis is on the Technological aspects ofthe project
• There have been debates and galvanising of ideas ontechnical aspects, such as: GaugeUG Vs ElevatedMRTS Vs LRTModern light weight AC Rolling StockContact less smart card/ Automatic fair collectionUsage of Lifts and Escalators in stationsATO/ATP/CBTC signalling system etc.These aspects are now practically settled. On many issuesguidelines are also issued by the Government of India

• Urban Transport is inherently multimodal.• NUTP requires that public transport system is coordinated and
well integrated with efficient inter-change infrastructure andshould offer a seamless journey to the users
• The important aspects of Multimodal integration are : Physical integration Network integration Interchange facilities Fare integration Integrated ticketing Information integration Institutional integration. Facilities for handicapped
8
• Some of the observations and recommendations of theWorking Group on Urban Transportation in its report ofMarch,2012 are:
Urban transport should grow along a sustainable path tosupport the desired economic growth, protect theenvironment and to improve the quality of life
A shift from personal vehicles to other mass transit andnon-motorized modes is necessary to reduce energydemand from cities. Share of public transport on theaverage should be aimed at 60% of motorized trips and35% of total trips including walk.

By 2030, it is envisaged that cities would have taken fullcharge of their own urban transport needs.
The Central Government would take care of issues suchas financing, PPP, capacity building, developing a database and R&D.
State Government would empower the city with aninstitutional framework, legislation, a resourcegeneration policy and professional staff.
10
• With this background and the fact that thetechnological issues are broadly settled, the focusshould now extend to issues which make theseinfrastructure more meaningful to the users toholistically improve the quality of travel and therebyquality of life.[ “Making life in London better….” Mr Verma/ TfL]
• Enhanced commuter experience would draw more andmore users towards public transport

Factors Influencing Commuter Experience
The issues that would enhance commuter experience can beclubbed into the following:
Within the Metro systemIn the close vicinity of the systemFurther around the System – City Level
1. WITHIN THE METRO SYSTEM
13
Provisions of Platform Screen Doors (PSD’s) Increased provision of Lifts and Escalators Improved Architectural Finishes and Use of
Station Premises for Cultural Activities
Platform Screen Doors (PSD) for the U/G andElevated Stations
• Safety and comfort for the passengerson the station
• Comfort for the operator• Enhances the performances
• Higher entering speed in the station• No risks of unforeseen, like passenger
on tracks or suicide attempts• Passengers can occupy the whole space
of the platform• Saving of AC’s energy consumption in
case of U/G stations
14
• Suicides in the system could be verydepressing to the users and operators
Increased provision of Lifts and Escalators
15
• UG Stations could be quite deep. Some of the elevated stations are also veryhigh
• MML-3 : 7 out of 26 stations are deep with Rail Level > 24 m below ground.Vertical distance to be traveled by these station users would be equivalent to 7-8 storey building. Some of the other stations are also quite deep.
• Situation in other Metros could also be similar.• There is a need for adequate number of lift and escalators for comfortable
vertical circulation.

• However provisions in the DPRand budget estimate do notprovide for large number of Liftsand Escalators
16
• 90 meters deep station on L9 lineof Barcelona Metro System
• 5 elevators each carrying up to 40passengers
Escalators in both directions
Increased provision of Lifts and Escalators
Food Courts on the station
Shopping malls inside the Metro Station17
Improved Architectural Finishes andLightings for Stations
• Improved architectural finishes,better lighting coupled withsmart use of station andsubways space for shops, foodcourts and cultural activitieswould enhance commuterexperience and quality of travel

2. IN THE CLOSE VICINITY OF THE MRT SYSTEM

• Multimodal Interchange• Street Furniture• Improved Footpaths• Space for pick-up & drop / Taxi stand/Cycle stand etc.
Multimodal Interchange
• Seamless Integration – Commuters switchover between different modeswithout ‘time loss’ and ‘discomfort’ using a single ticket over all the systems

CONCLUSION Focus on “integration” must increase to
meaningful levels in project proposal(DPR) itself Works ‘with in system’ and ‘close to the system’
to be implemented as a part of the MRTS project. Nodal coordination at state level be effective for
planning, coordination and in making land andbudget available. Respective turf protection beovercome.
Separate and sufficient budget to be provided toongoing MRTS projects for big ticket integrationworks to make travelling seamless and urbanliving better.
