An educational PPT on Metro Rail Project, its advantages and disadvantages. The ppt also contains the example of Kochi Metro Rail Limited.

1. Metro Rail Project
Jose John

2. Beginning
• India's 1st and Asia's 5th metro rail was introduced in Kolkata.
• Over a length of 16.45 km and the work on this project was sanctioned
on 1.6.1972.
• The construction work started in 1973-74. After crossing so many
hurdles Calcutta Metro started its journey on October 24, 1984.

3. Why Metro?
• Unprecedented growth of personal vehicles.
• Growing traffic congestion.
• Air pollution and traffic accidents has become a major concern.
• To avoid congestion at peak hours.
• Time saving. Reduced fuel consumption.

4. • Growing cities, growing population and growing traffic has invariably called
for a shift from private modes of conveyance to public transport.

5. • MRTS in the world’s developing nations exist successfully.
• lack of funds planning as is known that such projects require huge capital
investments.
• a long gestation period.
• complex technology.
• The lack of integration between various systems of mass transportation
• the absence of comprehensive traffic and transportation planning.
Why India has lagged behind other countries?

11. Kochi Metro and the Pandemic

12. • Less power usage, very high space occupancy. The Metro Rail System has
demonstrated to be the most effective in the transportation.
• Metro rails are very High-capacity carriers and journey hours are very
less than compared to road ways. It is Eco-friendly – no pollution of the
air, much less noise is produce.
• Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km compared to road-based transport
system.
Advantages of Metro Rail Project:

13. Advantages of metro rail:
• Causes less noise, no air pollution and eco friendly transport system.
• Occupies no road space if underground and only about 2.60 meters width
of the road if elevated.
• Reduces journey time.
• Cost effective mass transport system.
• Reducing traffic transport problems.

14. Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage of metros is the slight congestion on roads at the time
of construction which has to be taken care of.
The cost factor is another disadvantage, the solution for which is to integrate
metros with others systems considering the volume, structure, availability of
space and resources for traffic and transportation.
