4. Typical Indian city needs smart city projects to increase the
share of bus mode of public transport
Source: Bus Rapid Transit for Indian cities - ITDP
Last Decade – 300 Km & 15000 city buses
At this rate, when will we be ready with 10,000 of rapid transit ?
2350 AD !!!

5. Ranchi has high share of IPT and only constitutes 5% of
the total trips in bus giving a large scope of improvement
in public transport
33% trips on public
transport BUT NO PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
90% WOMEN USE Share
autos or walk
Cars & Motorcycles
21% TRIPS 99%
budget
Many women working on
daily wages walk as much
as 10-15 km one way
every day in search of
work in Ranchi, and need
to return to their homes
before it gets dark – which
limits their earning
potential.Source: Smart cities.gov.in Annexures Ranchi

6. Major concerns with IPT transport involves personal security concerns while very less
frequent supply of buses for long distance work commuting

7. Current infrastructure is inadequate to support the goal of enhance mobility
for Ranchi smart city
37% people on foot BUT NO FOOTPATHS
CYCLISTS 60% more than CAR USERS

widened
Ranchi has only 4.3 kilometres of Usable footpath
683.7 kilometres of Road network form only 9.9%
of land area

Issues of strike and unstable institutional
support
No prescribed time schedule for bus, No
dedicated fleet assigned to a particular
route
Fewer than 30 buses out of the original
JNNURM fleet presently operational
Absence of government managed or
operated intercity bus service, JNNURM
transferred the buses to JTDC
Ranchi received 70
of these 190 buses
Ranchi received 70 of these 190
buses with 80% cost from
JNNURM as grant
Only two bus routes in operation

Average ticket prize INR 10
Total No. of Trips 26,46,000
Improved Share of Bus Transport 35%
Expected Growth in future for no. of trips 150%
Revenue after one year of implementation INR 5,07 cr. (35% * 26,46,000 * 365 * 10 *
1.5 )
There is a significant earning potential for revenue generation from
the enhancement of public transport infrastructure
