Decision makers' lines of argument with respect to democratising cycling
Decision makers in Newcastle and Bremen were interviewed about democratizing cycling. Three main themes emerged from their responses: 1) People do not always know what they want when it comes to transportation and decision makers feel they need to work with citizens, 2) Decision makers want to include grassroots activism but balancing this with being elected officials dependent on voters, and 3) Decision making processes remain invisible to the public and changing transportation paradigms will require building consensus. The democratic process is more established in Bremen, putting citizens in a better position to reform transportation, while Newcastle may depend on an autocratic leader to drive change or reforming democratic participation.
Importance of transportation innovation
Transportation innovation is important for economic growth and social benefits as populations increase. New technologies can improve logistics and freight hubs, introduce high-speed rail, enhance air safety, and develop green vehicles. Electric cars are growing in acceptance as an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas vehicles. Satellite-based air traffic control systems aim to increase efficiency over outdated ground systems. Maglev trains use magnetic levitation for high-speed travel with minimal fuel consumption, though setup costs are high. Overall, transportation innovations can help reduce fuel use and environmental impact while advancing affordable mobility.
Are Indian Cities Moving Towards Sustainable Transportation?
Indian cities are moving towards more sustainable transportation systems by promoting public transit over private vehicles. As cities invest less in new car infrastructure and more in public transit like buses and trains, they are seeing reductions in traffic congestion and pollution. Sustainable transportation requires an integrated approach including improving existing transit systems, expanding bike and pedestrian infrastructure, implementing high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and promoting dense, mixed-use development near transit lines. The transition will take implementing multiple complementary policies tailored to each city's unique needs.

A study of sustainable transportation system in ahmedabad and delhi
This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up
by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system. Developing
countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to increased focus on
sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated transportation strategy is
most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the sustainable transportation. The vision of
planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the
society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is
made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these sub systems perform in order to have a
sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing,
usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of
urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a
holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these
sub-systems.

Mobility and City Streets: Metro Bikes as Smart Urban Mobility Solution
Mobility and City Streets: Metro Bikes as Smart Urban Mobility SolutionWRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
- Metro Bikes is a self-ride shared mobility solution that allows users to locate nearby bikes, e-scooters, or e-bikes using an app, unlock them with OTP or PIN, ride to their destination, and leave the vehicle there for the next user to pick up.
- It aims to provide first and last mile connectivity from metro stations and other transport hubs to reduce congestion and encourage the use of public transit.
- Surveys found that over 80% of respondents were willing to use Metro Bikes for last mile trips averaging 0.5-8 km, with 40-50% currently spending Rs. 20-50 on alternatives like autos, buses, or taxisCondition of Bus Services of Dhaka City
Dhaka is one of the fastest growing cities in the world with a population of over 12 million within its 1,529 square kilometer area. The rapid population growth has increased demand for transportation but infrastructure has not kept pace. As a result, traffic and transportation conditions have severely deteriorated, characterized by congestion, delays, accidents, pollution, and an inadequate public transportation system. Buses are the main form of public transit but service is unsatisfactory due to lack of maintenance, planning and management. The document then discusses issues with the current bus system and proposals to improve transportation in Dhaka.

The document discusses the need for exclusive bus lanes in Bangalore to address the city's traffic congestion issues. It proposes 5 possible bus lane routes totaling about 71 km that could connect important areas and supplement the metro system. The routes would provide faster, more reliable bus transport and discourage private vehicle use. Planning considerations for the bus lanes like underpasses at intersections are also covered.
Walking ...
The document summarizes proposals from the OECD Working Group on 'Walking, Urban Space and Health' to encourage walking in urban areas. The proposals aim to provide governments with recommendations to implement policies that view walking as essential to urban mobility and public health. Specifically, the proposals focus on analyzing pedestrian needs, measures to promote walking, and transforming urban spaces from car-centric to people-centric through urban planning and design. The ultimate goal is to create livable, healthy and safe urban environments where walking and socializing are a pleasure rather than a burden.
A tale for many cities
The writer defines a city as a dense amalgamation of buildings and people that must provide equity and sustainability. The two key requirements of a city are provision of basic services and social infrastructure, which must be developed together. Some of the essential components of a city that require planning and implementation include streets, public transport, traffic management, affordable housing, drainage, water, sewage, and garbage. The writer is an architect who has been closely connected with Delhi and its planning, and argues we are at a crucial point for urban planning due to rapid population growth in cities.
Brt india
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems are needed in India to address issues with the current transportation infrastructure. BRT provides an efficient and reliable public transit option that is cheaper than alternatives like metros. It allows buses to operate in dedicated lanes separated from other traffic for fast, frequent service. However, for BRT to be successful in India, further improvements are needed like integrated ticketing, expanded routes and bus fleets, subway crossings, stronger enforcement of bus lanes, and policies to incentivize greater public transit use.

And due to increase in vehicles the number of problems developed likes Traffic jam, Accidents, Pollution etc. So that by constructing the sky bus metro reduced this problem. Thus sky bus metro solve the public transportation problem in metro cities. After experiencing congestion’s and traffic jams over three decades, India finally realized her urban public transport system requires transformation for solving several problems at once and for long term. Innovation of Sky bus by Indian Railways, a Govt. owned enterprise is the outcome of this learning process. Sky bus project has been receiving support from Government, Industries as well as from various public in India. This research confirms the advantages of Sky bus innovation are tremendous. For overpopulated Indian urban areas, Sky bus seems to be the best solution for safe, quality and inexpensive mass public transportation system. After approval from concerned authorities, Sky bus will be the long term solution for public in terms of transportation in India. Sky Bus metro is in the tramway category, under Art 366 20 of the Constitution of India. Since it parallels existing roadways and within municipal limits, it is excluded from the Act. Sky Bus cannot capsize or collide. Sky Bus is based on the concept of Sky Wheels presented in 1989 at World Congress for Railway Research. Sky Bus eliminates vandalism, derailments and is virtually maintenance free. Construction cost Rs 450,000,000 per km. It is noise free and pollution free with no crossings. It can carry about 18000 people per hour per direction pphpd , scalable to 54000 pphpd as required. Which are suspended from bogies and travel below rail guides, the physics of which can be engineered very easily shells of coaches and suspension links well proven. Prefabricated latest construction technologies, which save time and money resulting in easy execution of the project in busy urban areas without disturbing the existing traffic pattern .These structural engineering methods, are well proven which do not have any project execution risk attached.

- 1. Metro Rail- The final option Human’s life expectation can be decreased by many years if you travel daily in traffic congested cities. Currently mass mobility involves using buses based on fossil fuel which generate excessive carbon emissions, dust and hazardous particle matters. If one were to add noise pollution a picture of a chaotic city emerges. The major cause for the above fact is vehicular pollution. We can find huge amount of vehicles on Hyderabad roads giving out hazardous gases. Due to which the city is losing both its greenery and peace of mind. The citizens demand a solution from Government on this issue. The government has planned to start a rapid metro rail transit system in the city which is eco-friendly. But some citizens remain confused and unaware about the project and its benefits. The need of the hour is to educate the public of the true nature of metro rail projects that are people friendly, eco-friendly, affordable and easily accessible. This will improve both health and economic conditions and increase longevity. Increase in cycle users: With the commencement of metro rails, the traffic and pollution problems may come down radically. The HMR is developing eco-friendly stations in all the 3 corridors. Many citizens can use cycles as their mode of transport which improvises their health. Cycling is the best exercise to human muscles. It gives perfect fitness. But, in present Hyderabad, most of them aren’t in a position to ride cycles and move free on the roads. So this would be possible only with metro rails. City planners must address this issue and make cycling a compulsory health fashion statement. Too many vehicles in the city: Too many users are contributing towards a traffic mess on the city roads. The growth of population and upwardly mobile aspirational goals is leading to a rapid increase in vehicular
- 2. usage. This can come down with the help of metro rail. It’s every citizen’s right to enjoy mass public transport system. Now will this remain a dream or become a reality with the advent of metro rail in the City of Pearls is something for the citizens to decide. Pedestrians not wanted: Great cities started with wide pedestrian paths and limited width for horse drawn vehicles. Pedestrian path included outdoor chairs and tables for the proverbial cup of tea. In today’s modern city the opposite is true. Roads encroach pedestrian pathways, almost making them nonexistent. Using your feet to walk has become an insurance risk on our city pathways. For the purpose of safety many prefer motorized transport. Community walking trails around parks and in some residential complexes have become the only place to use our feet and get some exercise for both the body and soul. It’s time to walk before it becomes too late.
