Technical Assistance Transit Service Management1. Capacity Development Strategy for BRTS Agency
AJL is building up its organization as services are expanded. AJL started with corestaff drawn from its parent body AMC. AJL is also using public privatepartnership (PPP) for providing BRTS route services and allied services. AJLplans to build its organization structure strong and enhance knowledge, skill and
capacity of their employees and make them compatible with new emergingtechnologies and its applications in their operations. AJL aims at up gradation ofits bus operations by recruiting deserving and qualified candidates for thecapacity building of the organization with the best available training.
2. BRTS Performance Measures and Quality of ServiceBRTS in Ahmedabad is entrusted to Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL), the wholly
owned subsidiary of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. Hence, BRTS here iscommonly known as Janmarg. The system among others lays emphasis on highquality services which include availability, comfort and safety. In order to
accomplish it Service Quality Monitoring of the BRTS is done on a monthly basis.A number of performance measures have been identified from the operator pointof view, passenger point of view and vehicle point of view to evaluate the BRTS.Addition in the route and number of buses, change in scheduling and othervariations have constantly been documented. Their effects on performancemeasures have been analysed. This gives a clear picture of the effect of various
amendments on performance of the BRTS.

Research & Development - Themes4. Footpath Manual
During construction of the corridors, it was generally observed that constructingthe street edge is the trickiest part. Very often, the demarcating line from thepublic and private domain is unclear. In both cities, the street edge hosts avariety of activities. These range from the local chaiwala and cobbler to second
hand car markets. Access to private properties and societies cause interruptionsin the footpath. Section pillars, junction boxes, light poles, telephone poles, trees,dust bins and benches also form part of the edge. With this background, and ageneral tendency to afford less importance to correct execution of the footpath onpart of the contractor, the end result is a poor quality of pedestrian space.
5. Training Programme for BRTS Agency Staff
Working with AJL current staff on training and standard operations procedures.Based on this training modules will be prepared for agencies that need operationstraining for operations and maintenance of BRTS.

1. Landuse-Transport Integration What is a good way of making a city?
Attempt is to clarify the relationship between urban spatial
structure and travel behaviour through theory and casestudies.
Urban Spatial Structure: Spatial Spread, Density, NetworkPattern and Landuse distribution
Travel pattern: Origin, Destination, Mode choice and their
impacts (Environmental, Economic and Social) Identify good practices

Transit Investments have significant influences on urban
structure and land values Based on theory and empirical evidences (Ahmedabad &
Surat trace over 4 years):
Assess the impacts on landuses, land values
Evolve TOD strategies 3-Ds Density, Diversity, Design compatible landuse
Mechanisms to capture value additions

4. Consumer Choices and Mode Shift
Improvements in existing transit alone will not be adequate attractmodal shifts in favor of public transit
Major Image Change over/preferably New Brand with distinctquality of service (BRT/Metro) would bring significant shifts
Pricing need to be competitive to alternatives (3-wheelers)
Shifts would be even more significant, when they are coupled withparking and other demand management measures
Effort is to assess the level of shifts expected with differentmeasures

Research & Development - Themes
5. PPP Models in Urban Transport PPPs are complex in any infrastructure sector, would be more so
in urban transport because of inherent viability gaps, highvisibility, and high political interest.
Given these complexities, the CoE is proposes the following: Identifying and analysing best practices
Success factors, constraints
Conceptulisation and identification of PPP opportunities in urbantransport systems
Structuring the opportunities in terms of stakeholder roles Researching alternatives to covering viability gaps through finaning
strategies such as land value capture, commercial developmentbundling, innovative fare structures
Preparing standard contracts and concession agreements. Assisting in development of PPP capacities in both public and
privae sector through training and research.
