Rail-Based Public Transit Systems
Concept
The ever increasing travel demands in India’s larger cities and the inability of our buses to cope with this increase in volume of commuters are making rail-based mass transit systems seem as an efficient alternative.
Rail-based transit systems (RTS) include metro rail, light rail, monorail and high-speed rail systems, as well as regional rail transit systems (RRTS). These systems not only move large volumes of people, but are also a greener, reliable and energy efficient option.
UMTC has been involved in assisting cities in conducting techno-economic feasibility studies and planning the rail-based systems.
UMTC's approach to help cities develop efficient rail-based urban transit systems
UMTC has been involved in the preparation of DPRs and feasibility reports for RTS that includes:
- Traffic surveys and travel demand forecasts/ridership estimates
- Alternative analysis
- Selection of technology and alignment
- System specifications
- Passenger amenities and facilities development plans
- Operational plans
- Environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs)
- Cost estimation
- Project structuring
- Financial and economic analysis
- Implementation planning and capacity building
