Janmarg phase II
![Page 8: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key accessibility features of Janmarg• Level Boarding• At grade crossings• Trained drivers• Enclosed, well lit stations with seating• Access Ramps (1:12 gradient)• Tactile warnings at boarding gates• Map and route information in English and Gujarati• Auditory and visual announcements in stations
and buses

Components of accessibility
Access routes from surrounding area
Station/bus interface
Vehicle interior

ITDP’s study
‘Janmarg’ has access features
“Are they being used?”By whom?
Are they helpful?How to improve?
![Page 11: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Methodology• Questionnaire survey to members of disabled
community (n=27*)– questions on travel behavior, preferred mode, and
experiences on public transport• User count at 5 Janmarg stations (appx 500/station)
– visual observation of the number of seniors, visually impaired, mobility impaired, and hearing impaired passengers
• Infrastructure audit (100m radius)– Bus interior (2 types of buses in the Janmarg system)– Stations and station precincts
![Page 12: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
User groups• Senior citizens• Persons with impaired mobility• Persons with impaired vision• Persons with impaired hearing
![Page 13: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Questionnaire results• 51% had used public transport (past 6
months)– 100% prefer Janmarg over AMTS
• Common issues in using public transport:– “Route to the bus stop/station is unsafe” – “The buses are too full”– “No space to sit or rest”– “Buses do not stop at bus stops”

Station design: what’s working
Access ramps (1:12 gradient)
At-grade crossings
![Page 18: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Station design: what’s working
Level boarding: average gap width of 10-12 cm
Enclosed stations with seating and visual announcements
![Page 19: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Station design: issues
Close placement of bollards at pedestrian crosssings
Position of light posts on access ramps and walkways
![Page 20: Author: Vanishree Herlekar Co-Authors: Christopher Kost Jamie Osborne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167f5550346895ddd6f4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conclusion• Access to the station• Participatory approach• Active disabled user testing while
implementing• High construction quality = Minimum
future maintenance• Coordination between different planning,
implementation and maintenance bodies
