Tram Service at a glance

In eighties 275 cars used to carry 0.75 million passengers.

As per RITES - 2004 trams carry 1.90 lakh passenger on an average week day.

68 KMs double track of standard gauge in operation of which only 25 kms are in reserved right-of-way.

Tram tracks have become major source of problem due to inadequate maintenance, non-investment of capital and mixed traffic operation.

6 KMs removed in July 2011 Joka - B.B.D. Bag Metro Section.

Tram Service at Kolkata

Water Transport System at and around Kolkata

In Kolkata and Howrah, water ferries are used through the extensive ghats like Fairlie Ghat, Howrah Ghat, Shibpur Ghat, Prinsep Ghat, Cossipore Ghat.

There were plans to start utilizing the canals running through the city as water-transport network.

The construction of Circular Railway from DDJ to Princep Ghat (13.42 km) was sanctioned in the year 1983 - 84 at a total cost of Rs. 35.49 Crore. The construction work was taken in hand in July '1983 and full of stretch of 13.42 km was opened for passenger traffic in June '1990.Section between Princep Ghat and Majerhat was opened in 2006.

Metro Rail - Advantages Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km

compared to road-based transport system. Causes less noise, no air pollution and eco

friendly transport system. Occupies no road space if underground and

only about 3.0 mtrs width of the road if elevated

More reliable, comfortableand safer than road based systems Reduces journey time.

GENERAL SUB-SOIL CHARACTERISTICS OF KOLKATA

Normal Calcutta DepositThe Upper zone covering the softer components of normally consolidated subsoil, which in this region extends approximately about 15 metres below ground level.

The second horizon comprises the stiffer or denser components occurring just beneath the first horizon and extends down to about 50 metres or more below the ground level.

River Channel Deposits Superimposed features over the typical subsoil deposits of this region and basically consist of silty sand to sandy silt of considerable thickness. At a few locations the upper portion of this deposit has exhibited clayey silt to silty clay, most probably, in lenticular form. The sand deposit has been generally found to be fine to medium coarse.

Lifting of Segments/Erection of girders started in March 2012 within 2 years of sanction.
