The study had been done as a dissertation for the academic requirement to be fulfilled for Master in City Planning (Department of Architecture & Regional Planning | Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur) in the year of 2015.
The slides show the system of Rapid KL company and how they manage the system to be sustained through vehicles of the system , the trains and the buses .
The presentation gives a brief overview of Dubai, its culture, Bus Service, Metro Service and the introduction of new concepts which make it world class city.
During my tour, i clicked this photograph and thought to share them as a story....
Due to rapid unplanned development, versatile land use, rapid population
growth, poor public transport system and increase of private car users, traffic
problems are worsening day by day. The only mass transit is bus which is
insufficient in terms of safety, capacity, comfort, and convenience. Considering
the worsening congestion, it is high time to develop effective mass transit
system such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a means for achieving sustainable
urban transport in the city
This presentation will give you an overview of Ahmedabad BRTS "JANMARG" Project. The slides were presented by me at Civil Engineering Department, L.D. College of Engineering
The presentation provides an overall view of the urban transportation market in India. The presentation provides glimpse of development in different cities. It also tries to highlight the growth of ITS and AFCS market and the strategy of three key global players for India. You may send your feedback on jaaaspal@yahoo.com.

DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGIES FOR SALEM CITYIAEME Publication
Urban planning as majorly practiced in India is mainly concerned with the development of land in cities. Urban traffic congestion being a major problem in large cities which has a negative impact on mobility, environment, local economy and quality of life. The aim of this thesis is to develop an efficient transport with good and better facility for the Salem city. The roads and public transportation areas should be developed and maintained clean. Salem was a municipal town till 2007 and is developed to city in 2008 with heavy area expansion to more than ten times. A detail including all the elements like sustainable urban transport strategies for Salem city is not carried out in the past. To achieve this, development of Salem should meet all the three strategies i.e. social, economic and environmental sustainability goals. Hence sustainable development for Salem city is necessary.

Promoting Sustainable Cities using Green transportJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation makes an effort to list few ideas as to how to make urban transportation sustainable and-- promoting accessibility rather than mobility --besides promoting pedestrianisation and cycling as preferred means of travel

To ensure optimal use of road space
ERP is a congestion management
tool which optimises the use of

of roads
Flexible – rates vary by
location/time, based on local

Equitable – motorists pay for

15. Transport systems have always influenced the urban structure
of cities
Public transport shaped cities at the end of 19th and beginning
of 20th century
Dense and compact city centres
Street grids and buildings oriented towards public transport
Outward growth along railway lines and tramways
Transport and Urban Planning
16. In the last 50 – 80 years, a tremendous increase in the use of
the private car.
Parallel development of road infrastructure and parking spaces
urban and suburban development along highway corridors
dispersed, low density, segregated uses
urban sprawl
Little regard for public transport
Transport and Urban Planning
17. Classical model of sustainable urban development typically
features:
Urban development clustered along transit lines
Pyramids of local density rising to peaks around public
transport stations
Stations served as locations for concentration of public and
private services, and hubs for employment
Integrating Transport and Urban Planning
18. • In 1967, the government commissioned the State
and City Planning (SCP) project to examine
urban planning and transportation development
• 4 year planning and studying process led to the
1971 Concept Plan - Singapore’s first integrated
land use and transport development plan

28. Land Transport Authority
• Established in 1995
• Vision: A People-centred land transport
system
• Mission: To provide an efficient and cost-
effective land transport system for different
needs
• Rationale:
- A single authority to coordinate Singapore’s
transport plans (private and public transport)
and infrastructure building
29. Public Transport Council (PTC)
• An independent body established in 1987
• Members are from a wide spectrum of society
• Regulates
• bus service
• bus service operators
• ticket payment services
• bus & rapid transit system fares

36. Rail:
Operators compete for rights to operate new lines
Duopoly
Dominated by 2 multi-modal operators, SMRT & SBST
No Operational subsidy
Operators can internalise cross-subsidies between
profitable & non-profitable modes & services
Bus:
Operators assigned Areas of Responsibilities (AoRs)

37. Rapid Transit System
• MRT serves the heavy transit corridors
• 2 RTS Operators - SMRT & SBS Transit
• 178 km of MRT & LRT Lines
• Fares and services are regulated

Integrated Public Transport Hubs
45. • Transit stations are designed to integrate
physically with or connected to other transport
facilities.
• Includes bus interchanges, taxi stands and pick
up/drop off points
• Transfer between modes made as “seamless”
and as sheltered as possible
• Network Integration – bus and rail systems
should be an integrated network
• Integrated Fare System
Integrating Transport Modes
46. Integrated Fare System
Entry and exit at rail stations
Bus boarding & alighting
• Enhanced Integrated Fare System (EIFS)
– implemented in 2002
• Contactless smart cards for RTS and
public bus fare collection
• Non-transit applications. E.g. retail
purchases
• Distance Fares
47. Distance Fares was implemented on 3 July 2010
after extensive public communications exercise
Fares are charged on the basis of journey
distance with no transfer penalty
Commuters who make transfers now pay lower
fares when they travel the same route
Removal of transfer penalty encourages
commuters to make transfers if it shortens the
journey distance, because they pay lower fares.
Distance Fares
48. Integrated Public Transport Service Information
MyTransport.SG
•One Stop E-channel for Integrated Public Transport and Motoring Information/Services
• Portal groups transport information according to the travel profiles of commuters
•More than 20 mobile applications are available for download
•Third-party developers able to tap on Singapore’s transport, traffic and geospatial data
Better Services
• Expand Real Time Bus Arrival
Information on SMS
• Through Internet
• Through hotlines
Travel Information System
49. Barrier-Free Accessibility
MRT network
Fully accessible to people with
special mobility needs
Additional lifts at stations
Wheelchair accessible public
buses
Introduced in 2006
By 2020: 100%
Barrier free road facilities
All pedestrian walkways,
access to MRT stations, taxi &
bus shelters, and public roads
will be barrier free
50. Public transport is important in providing
access to jobs
Public Transport Council (PTC)
Regulate fares through fare cap
formula
Tracks proportion of household
income spent on public transport to
ensure affordability
Targeted help for our lower-income
families
Community schemes such as transport
vouchers
Affordable Public Transport
51. Walking – Pedestrian and commuter
facilities
Walk2Ride
Sheltered linkways
Lifts at pedestrian overhead bridges
Enhancing overall walking experience
Cycling
Provide more and better
bicycle lanes,
Parking facilities at public
transport
Allow foldable bicycles on
trains and buses
