This webinar was presented by Prashanth Bachu, Project Manager – Urban Transport, EMBARQ India and Sunil Jagtap, Assistant Workshop Supervisor, Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT).
The adoption of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) into vehicles, infrastructure, traffic management and traveller information services has shown dramatic improvements in the safe and efficient mobility of people in USA, European nations, Japan, Middle East and Canada. This webinar briefly introduced the state of ITS and fuel efficiency in the Indian context, as discussed in EMBARQ India’s Bus Karo 2 publication, which was launched earlier this year. Using NMMT’s Driver Training Program as a case study, the discussion indicated the challenges, outcomes and plans of further expanding the program.
This is the second webinar from the Bus Karo 2.0 webinar series. EMBARQ India's deep engagement on several projects with various city bus agencies has lead to the publishing of the Bus Karo 2.0 report, which documents the implementation of significant advancements in bus transport in India. As a part of the project, we have come up with a series of webinars, where each webinar will be conducted by EMBARQ India and the partner agency and focus on a different case study detailed in the report.

Ppp for solving public transport woes in indiaAmit Jain
The public transport in most of the cities are dependent on buses, auto rikshaws, cycle rikshaws which are not able to meet the demand, prone to accidents, delays & traffic jams. The cities need to create an efficient and affordable public transport services. The private sector may be invited through PPP to develop an integrated public transport system in a city. The private sector may charge an appropriate user fee (fare) from the users and earn revenue from commercial activities like advertising, renting & leasing of commercial spaces etc to cover his capital and recurring cost.
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.

India’s urban population is currently around 30% of its total population. Experience across the world has been that as economies grow, rapid urbanization takes this proportion to over 60% before it begins to stabilize. As such, it is projected that India’s urban population would grow to about 473 million in 2021 and 820 million by 2051, as against only 285 million in 2001. Hence, cities must not only meet the mobility needs of the current population but also provide for the needs of those yet to join the urban population.

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
Urban transportation is undergoing massive change and expansion, especially in the developing world. The rapid growth of cities is driving demand for better urban transportation and many cities are set to invest heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the needs of low-income households are often overlooked in the selection, design, and service decisions related to these investments. According to the World Bank, urban public transportation systems disproportionately disadvantage the urban poor and vulnerable, especially in cities in the developing world.
Meanwhile, innovative business and service models are emerging that are disrupting the established transportation systems in cities by taking advantage of open data, the Internet and mobile telephony. Services such as bike share, ZipCar®, Waze®, Hopstop®, and Uber® are reducing consumption and reconfiguring the relationship between modes, users, and providers of transportation. These new approaches improve urban transportation by making it more efficient, dependable, and sustainable.
As Susan Zielinski of the University of Michigan’s SMART Initiative puts it, “Transportation is at a crossroads. In response to rapid urbanization, shifting demographics, and other pressing social, economic, and environmental factors, cities and regions are shifting investment dollars from single mode infrastructure to multi-mode, multi-service, IT-enabled door-to-door systems… innovations and opportunities (are going) beyond the bounds of the traditional transportation industry.”
Collectively referred to as the emerging New Mobility sector, this innovative industry sector provides a key opportunity to build more inclusive cities and more resilient communities.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities is an exploratory effort focused on identifying innovative business and service models that are beneficial to the urban poor, both as users and providers of urban transportation.The primer briefly summarizes and showcases some of the hallmark innovations that are challenging the status quo in rapidly growing cities in the developing world.

Increasing highway capacity is not always a solution to the efficient mobility of people and goods as it leads to more traffic both on the new and existing roads
More traffic means more congestion
With current technology, more traffic means more road crashes, more pollution, more energy wasted, more parking congestion and increasing C02 and climate change
More reliance on car use for mobility leads to poor land use planning decisions and urban sprawl
Especially in towns and cities TDM can reduce the need for motorised transport
TDM can create better use of existing transport transport facilities

2. Why public transport?
• It makes economic sense:
– promotes economic benefits of agglomeration improving efficiency
– enables trade
– facilitates access to markets and services
– makes efficient use of resources
– enhancing employers’ access to a larger labour pool at lower costs
• It makes social sense
– enhances access to job opportunities
– enhances personal choice
– even creates jobs eg in European cities, such as Brussels,
Amsterdam, Barcelona and Paris, public transport is largest city
employers
• It makes environmental sense
– Reduces carbon footprint and reduces fuel consumption

3. Public Transport Funding in South Africa
Have we done enough?
• Over last 10 years, over R 167 billion in infrastructure and
operations subsidies with average annual growth 18%
• This spending is still on the increase BUT:
• It is not enough:
• Still, too many poor households spend too much on PT
• more than 60% households earning less than R 500 spent
more than 20% on transport (rural as high as 31%)
• From the public sector, our spend is also not efficient as it
should be as shall be seen
• And we are playing catch up to private transport use

7. Some key highlights on PT operations
• By and large our public transport provision is very costly and not efficient
– In our current constraint fiscal environment, there must be better way
• Provincial bus: Apartheid service for black townships to places of work.
– Very costly because of distances and extreme peaking
• Municipal bus: Metro Bus, Brakpan Bus, Tshwane Bus etc
– High operating costs, although shorter trips
• Bus Rapid Transit
– Heralded shift in thinking; attention to spatial transformation
– Has relatively good user satisfaction where it operates
– Has however resulted in very high deficits
• Gautrain
– High user satisfaction
– Very costly (between 2005/6-2013/14 represents 20% of total PT

8. Some pointers
• Mini bus taxis: carry more than 2/3 of people in metro areas:
– effiicient carrier esp. over shorter routes
– no operational subsidies
– rely on informality
– high societal costs linked to service
• Metro rail (PRASA):
– Provided through 4 regional operators that is Western Cape (Cape
Town); Gauteng (Joburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane) Kwa Zulu Natal
(Ethekwini) Eastern Cape (Buffalo City and Nelson Mandela Bay)
– Very low prices for passengers
– Significant capital infusion over the next couple of years including
recapitalisation and line extensions

10. And despite spend ….
Use of private transport
is growing faster than
public transport
While mini bus taxis
dominate market > 3 mill
trips, growing by 50%
BUT
There has been
remarkable growth in the
car; by 62.5% trips and
5.8% of market share

11. Then where are the challenges?
• There is a lot of inefficiency in the different public modes
– Part of the challenge is creating greater efficiencies within
the modes themselves
• There is high fragmentation of institutions and funding flows
– The increased investment could be enhancing
inefficiency!
• We are not doing nearly enough for the poor
– Public transport continues to be a social inhibitor for poor
households: affordability, access to jobs and opportunities
• It is costing our economy
– We are not creating the agglomeration benefits we so
desire with the spend
11
12. But a bigger challenge and at the heart of it is..
Providing public
transport in
South Africa is
inefficient
because we
have inherited
inefficient
spaces.
12
13. Without changing spatial form it will always be
costly to all
Our public
transport demand
is:
One way, highly
peaked, with little
seat turn over
This is COSTLY and
unsustainable

14. We need to…
• Rethink the role of PT spend: it can be potent spatial
influencer and it is not just about transport.
– With other built environment functions such as housing,
infrastructure e.g BEPP uses public financial levers
including PTNG and other grants (ICDG; NDPG; INEP;
USDG; HSDG) and aim to leverage private capital to
spatially target and drive change
• Better align and integrate to:
– obtain greater modal integration, and integration of PT
planning, and operations and
• Be more innovative
• leverage off efficiencies of mini bus taxis
• current “disruptive opportunities” presented by technology :14
15. We need to…
Empower our cities and towns:
• To plan better through their IPTNs: the NLTA envisaged well
planned transport systems that guides all public transport
investments
• To facilitate inter modal integration and coordination within
their space (harmonisation of fare structure, scheduling, and
ticketing) – key for passenger experience of public transport
system
• To control their other built environment functions: assignment
should happen when and where appropriate
• To capacitate themselves
