Urban Transport and Traffic Management High population growth. Massive increase in registered vehicles. High use of personalized vehicle. Heavy congestion. Less share of Public Transport. Parking problem. Urban transport Urban mobility is a major concern for UrbanPlanners and Policy makers. Urban Bus transport is and will remain the major componentof Urban Mobility. 4. At Present Own 6472 buses Bus Depots 38 Bus Stations 49 Manpower 33828 Routes 2398 Bus Staff Ratio 5.4Every day Operate 6129 bus schedules Perform 13 lakhs service Kms Make 84443 bus trips Earn Rs 4.20 Crore Carry 49 lakh passengers It is expected that, despite the fact that we are going to add other modesof MRT, by 2025, 55 Lakh passenger trips will be performed by busesonly. BMTC need about 9000 buses by that time. It needs about augmentation of 300 buses every year. All the new buses added to fleet, either as augmentation or replacementwill be low floor good quality buses.Bus Operations of BMTC 5.

However STUs have not received any support from Government tocompensate these additional costs due to environmental norms. STUs are not even allowed to take this component in the tariff fixation.It is resulting in reducing the margin of operation drastically for BMTC. 9.

Hosur Road Corridor Improvement PlanMoving from the existingDestination Services modelto anIntegrated Services model 22. Destination Services Model Bus services in Bangalore are based on theDirect Services model. Each locality is directly connected todestinations in the city centre with a dedicatedroute. Such system leads to inefficiency. As city expands and number of destinationsincreases, the number of routes increasesexponentially. It results in a large degree of route redundancy. 23. Destination Services Model Due to constrained fiscal capacities, fleet sizecannot keep up with the increase in number ofroutes. It results in large number of routes with only 1or 2 buses. If these routes are long as new routes servingthe city periphery tend to be this results inlong wait times in sub-urban areas. 24. Route Rationalisation 25.
