ASSOCIATIONOF BRT CITIES

IN ASIA(ABCA)

Background

• India has some 3000 small cities / towns of which about

300-400 would need some form of organized public

transport

• Public Transport has traditionally been operated by State

Road Transport Undertakings in India

• Asian cities present a diversity of models ranging from

State/City run organizations to privately run companies

• Metro systems are established thorough Government

ownership led, specially structured vehicles owing to

capital intensiveness

• Trend of several PPP arrangements, particularly in

operations and maintenance part of solutions delivery

Bus Based Public Transport • Rail based and Bus based Public Transit both will

have to co-exist to accommodate the demands of public transit in major cities across Asia

• Bus Transit has heavier land use and integration implications as it has wider network coverage

• There is thus a need to converge for Bus Transit operators across cities and associated stakeholders for sharing ideas and experiences

• At the same time, the role and contribution of metros organizations will also be important to such convergence

Association of BRTS Cities in India• Proposed objectives:

• Promotion of public transit as important means in urban areas • Promotion of integrated public transport and land use• Exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences relating to bus systems

and particularly BRTS• Promotion of BRTS as one of the important urban transit solutions

across Indian cities• Support and services in technical areas relating to BRT and urban

transport

• Proposed members:• Any Indian city with existing/ planned BRTS represented through city

government or specialized BRTS agency or both• Academic institutes working in area of urban/public transport• Associate membership for other stakeholders (transport organizations,

consulting firms, manufactures & vendors etc)

Formation• Association may be formed in the format of a

Society registered under Indian Societies Act, in India

• Chair can be held by rotation • Charter can be adopted after circulation ratified

through each member’s own constitutional/ regulatory processes

Association Revenues • Membership Fees • Conference Revenues • Technical Advisory Services• Data Compilation, Analysis and Dissemination • State/City Governments grants and aids • Sale of Publications and Journals • Support from multilaterals and other sources

Organizational Structure • General Body representing primary members

Revised Fare = Base Fare + 1.2*((Base Fare*0.5*change in fuel price)+ (Base Fare* 0.5 * Change in Whole Sale Price Index))

RF=6.02 + 1.2 x ((6.02 x 0.5 x (46.15-35.4)/35.4) + (6.02 x 0.5 x (154.9-127.3)/127.3))
