HDBRTS : GREEN BRTS

Land acquisition witnessed lots of hurdles including multiple elections and

change in land acquisition act.

Co-ordination with various government agencies for laying of utilities.

Implementation Plan and Financial Allocation of each utility had different time

frames.

Since components are dependent on multiple contracts (Civil, ITS & Utilities)

and interdependency on decisions at each level kept implementation time frame

stretching.

Ensuring quality of work with constrained availability of skilled contractors.

Managing property access while designing for safe ride and implementing on

hilly terrain with provision of utilities and drainage system along the corridor.

Resistance of locals on environmental impact due to road widening. This

initiated idea of Green BRT & inclusion of citizens in EMP.

Making people aware of new system and changing their regular ways.

HDBRTS : CHALLENGES

photo

Entire site should be in holding of project authority before

commencement of civil works.

Utility planning and Road infrastructure planning should be

planned together. Detailed Survey, investigation and shifting

plan of utilities to be done as a part of the DPR stage itself.

ITS consultant should be placed in similar time frame with

Infrastructure design consultants to accommodate

requirements of each other & reduce implementation

delays.

Operations is a continuous process and commuters are

attracted to reliable, dependable and convenient service.

HDBRTS : LEARNINGS

Encouraging cashless rides by introduction of passes and smart card.

Introducing Last mile connectivity through feeder buses and city bus route reorganisation

Plan for Expansion of Infrastructure and Services

Extending Sustainability goal Looking forward for electric buses and

Planning for renewable energy (solar) resources at Depot and Terminal

Creating a benchmark service providing reliable, dependable, safe and affordable ride to commuters.

HDBRTS : WAY FORWARD
