2. TEN SystemsCatchment Area*
• Area and population from which a city or
individual service attracts visitors/customers.
– a school catchment area - the geographic area from
which students are eligible to attend a local school
– the area within which an organisation, company or
institution provides its services.
• “Metro catchment area” is defined as area where
its service is “accessible” that optimally fulfils
individual as well as system requirements.

5. Need for Integrated Feeder System
TEN Systems
• Ridership for Delhi Metro is much below capacity,
which is a worry particularly for a capital intensive
system in a poor country
• At the same time, commuters staying further than
500 metres face enormous difficulty to reach Metro
Station
• Frequent stoppages (less than 1 km. between stations on
average) lead to longer travel times that weighs
against choice of Metro for many commuters
• Many of the stations are already facing parking
congestion
– Average access time including travel, waiting time or
parking time 15-20 minutes
• Noise and air pollution in station area is
unchecked

7. Level 1: Metro Plus
• Access Control Zone of 3 km corridor on either side
where only light, CNG/ electric rickshaws and bicycles
called Neighborhood Vehicles are allowed
Access time between 5-15 minutes
Revenue potential from higher commercial value of surrounding
areas as it enables greater footfalls
• Seamless integration of feeder service enables spacing
of Metro Stations to at least 2 kms.
Enables passenger carrying capacity to be increased by 100-
200% - more trips per hour
Reduces travel time
Increases frequency of service
Shifts short distance travel from Metro to NVs
• Provision of high capacity bicycle rack facility and
service bay for pick up and drop of passengers in the
station area
Improves accessibility for larger number of people

Gram Swaraj Rediscovered - I
• Every village should be its own republic,
"independent of its neighbors for its own vital
wants and yet interdependent for many others in
which dependence is necessary,"
• In this view each village should be basically self-
reliant, making provision for all necessities of life
- food, clothing, clean water, sanitation, housing,
education and so on, including government and
self-defence, and all socially useful amenities
required by a community.

14. TEN Systems
Gram Swaraj Rediscovered - II
• Full independence would mean that every
village would be a republic with full powers.
These were revolutionary ideas.
• Unfortunately…even long after India attained
independence, it remained only a theoretical
proposition.
• But it contains in it a great truth, which will have
to be recognized in the future economic
development of India.

15. TEN Systems
The Road to Gram Swaraj
• Every village has
infrastructure for
bicycle servicing,
electric vehicle
charging, CNG
vehicle fueling and
parking bays.
• Elevated Cross-over
create seamless
traffic conditions on
express roads and a
region-wide grid of
connected walking
and cycling tracks.

16. Livable Neighborhoods or “Parking Lots”
Point to Ponder
Can I walk and run and bicycle
outside on “my streets”?
Why is mummy so scared
when I want to play outside like
“others” on TV?

People-friendly Streets
• People-friendly
livable, neighborhoods
do not require capital
expenses
• They can generate
large numbers of
sustainable livelihood
opportunities
• They require policy
intervention that are
objective, sensible and
committed

Pedal Power
The bicycle is the
world's cleanest,
healthiest, most

most efficient form

(How can we)
increase its
integration into the
economies and
lifestyles of
countries across
the world?

20. Can this meet 60% of our travel needs?
• Most of the UK’s major cities have gone
rickshaw crazy, so could we see this
elegant three-wheeler on our streets any
time soon?
• Yamaha’s new streamlined and
sophisticated electric rickshaw.
• It’s been designed and created for use
at the 2005 Japan World Expo, where
taxis are off-limits.
• Those sleek curved lines and
transparent roof give it a much fresher
and more stylish look than the rust
buckets currently doing the rounds on
our city streets.
• Plus, the assistance of an electric motor
means less effort for the driver, and in
turn a more pleasant ride for the
passengers.

21. The Bigger Picture
Does Pragati-MobilityXS call for too radical
a change in our travel habits ?
Doesn’t everyone love their private
vehicles?
Why should India care about global
warming and its dire consequences?
Will Indians ever like to ride bicycles?

22. Automobile Dependency –
Not a Natural Choice TEN Systems
Current urban design spreads car
dependency “even in India”
Not charging the “full cost” of private
vehicle usage is a “blatantly regressive
form of subsidy”
Tax exemptions, cheap loans and
unchecked evasion oil unnecessary
purchase and use of private vehicles
It is stoked by incessant and
occasionally misleading
advertisements – status symbol,
autophilic behavior etc.
Lack of choice forces people at middle – lower income levels
to spend disproportionately high share of household income on
automobile

23. TEN Systems
Drop-dead Consumerism
“Our enormously productive economy
...demands that we make consumption our
way of life, that we convert the buying and
use of goods into rituals, that we seek our
spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction,
in consumption ... We need things
consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced,
and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”
- Victor Lebow, Journal of Retailing, 1955

Why is The World Sitting Up?
• Nonprofit, non-partisan Civil Society Institute
released a survey that found 83 percent of
Americans wanted more leadership from the
federal government to reduce the pollution
linked to global warming.
• Human-fuelled global warming has reached a
"tipping point,”...the effects of climate change
were so severe they should spur urgent action to
prevent more damage and to combat damage
that has already occurred.
– David Jhirad, Washington-based World Resources
Institute.

Poverty and Emissions – The Myth
• The Indian government is particularly cynical in
this regard. It champions Kyoto and more, but
makes no commitment to emission cuts.
• Environment Minister A. Raja on December 13,
2005:
"India as a developing country - with [a] large
number of people living in poverty - cannot
give a firm commitment to reduce GHG
emissions."
– “Daring to look beyond Kyoto” Praful Bidwai,
Frontline, Dec. 31 - Jan 13, 2006

26. Poverty and Emissions – The Reality
• "The good news is that a host of energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and other clean technologies are
available to reduce heat-trapping-gas emissions
substantially without impeding economic growth. These
technologies often produce net savings to consumers,
when compared to continued reliance on inefficient,
polluting technologies. As a statement released in
February by over 2,000 US economists put it, "Sound
economic analysis shows that there are policy options
that would slow climate change without harming
American living standards, and these measures may in
fact improve US productivity in the longer run."
