Key
Component 1: Public Transport
Outputs expected:
• Re-structuring of DOTM with creation of a new Public Transport Division

• Selection and Implementation of 2 Pilot Bus Routes
• Transformation of current public transport operators into companies or cooperatives (franchising)
• Purchase of electric or low emission buses through the TDF on the 2 selected pilot routes
• Feasibility Study on the mass transport system in Kathmandu Valley
Fleet rationalisation
• 8 Primary Routes: Requires a fleet of 470 buses, (12-Metre Rigid)
• 16 Secondary Routes: Fleet of 250 buses, 9 to 10 m in length
• 40 Tertiary Routes: Predominately using existing vehicle fleet, with some routes operated by new Electric vehicles
• Vehicle-km reduced by 332,000 per day
• Vehicle Operating Costs reduced by US$ 34 Million per year
• 10% Reduction in road space used (PCU’s)
PRIMARY PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTES
Component 2: Traffic Management
Outputs expected:
• Construction of the 2 new bridges at Dallu & Teku. (ICB-02)
• Construction of crossing junction at Teku.
• Construction of the remaining road section of BLR on east bank. (ICB-02)
• Improvements at 35 Junctions. (ICB-03)
• Traffic Signals (37) and Installation of CCTV cameras, traffic lights, equipment and Traffic Management Centre. ITS installation. (ICB-04)

• Construction of 1 new pedestrian bridge and renovation of 2 existing footbridges along BLR. NCB-02
• PPP investigations for car parking and the redevelopment of the Old Bus Park under KMC
Component 4: Air Quality Monitoring
Outputs expected:
• Expedite programs to restore operations at the existing AQM stations with solar-powered backup systems: Completed
• Procurement of 4 new AQM mobile stations completed
• Procurement of 4 sets emissions testing equipment : Completed
Project Status
• Time lapsed 85% • Physical Progress to date: 44% • Financial Progress to date: 38% In general
Component 4 : Air Quality Monitoring satisfactorily completed. Component 3 : Walkway is proceeding satisfactorily Component 2 : Traffic Management some lagging specially in ITS (ICB-04) Some extension required. Component 1: Public Transport is very much lagging behind. S5 route association came to agreement.
Challenges
• Introducing 3 tier route hierarchy
• Reducing the 200 routes in to 66 Routes
• Transforming the Public Transport unions in to Companies
• Replacing the small vehicles by larger vehicles
• Social safeguard of existing operators
• No operational subsidy is planned.
• Many implementation units
• Many activities of low volumes. Many funding components.
• Disturbances due to SAARC occupancy, Melamchi Coordination, Earthquake, Fuel Crisis
