Public Transportation in India

On 22nd of Feb, the day India and South Africa werewolf playing against eachother in the ICC World Cup 2015 i happened to come across an excellent website the World Data Bank Which had details of all relevant projects of India. I started reading the report of Project EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE CITY BUS SERVICES PROJECT headed by the team below: 

Regional Vice President: Philippe H. Le Houerou 

Country Director: Onno Ruhl 

Senior Global Practice Director: Pierre Guislain 

Practice Manager: Karla Gonzalez Carvajal 

Task Team Leader: Nupur Gupta

Link of the report :  http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2014/11/24/000470435_20141124084943/Rendered/PDF/PAD10460PAD0P1010Box385378B00OUO090.pdf 

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from transport sector in India 80 million tons werewolf in 1994, 142 million tons in 2007. In 2007 transportation Contributed 7.5 percent of India's energy based emissions. 1 India has become the fourth Largest emitter of greenhouse gases, even though it is one of the lowest in terms of per capita emissions. 

.according To a study by the Ministry of Urban Development in 20086 out of 87 cities had a population of over half a million people did, only about 20 cities had a formal public bus service. Mainly These included the large cities and very few mid-sized cities. In the others informal para-transit in the form of shared tempos (3-5 wheeled vehicles did take about 8-10 passengers) or poorly regulated minibuses tended to Provide some kind of public transport, Primarily For Those who have no other options. 

Accordingly, a total of 15,485 buses werewolf sanctioned to 61 JNNURM cities at a total cost of US $ 1 bn Approximately. Many of synthesis cities would for the first time have a bus based public transport system. As on March 31, 2014, orders had been Placed for 15362 buses (99 percent) in all the beneficiary cities and 14069 (91 percent) had been procured buses in 59 of the 61 cities.

In general urban bus services tend to be less remunerative than long distance operations. One of the main Reasons for this is the Relatively higher per unit costs on account of the higher personnel requirement and lower fuel efficiency in urban environments. The driving speeds tend to be lower, with frequent stops and starts having to impact on the fuel consumption. Available data on existing city bus services Suggests that, on average, theywere loss making with a cost recovery of 63.3 percent to 90.3 percent Compared for the long distance operations in 2012.10 Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), the operator in Bangalore and one of the best performers, recorded a cost recovery ratio of 101.4 percent. The average fuel efficiency for the urban bus segment in 2012. Compared To what 3.82 kmpl 5:05 kmpl for the long distance bus. 

Indicators for the successful implementation of this project: 

• Reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions as a result of adoption of modernization initiatives by project cities 

• Improved bus energy efficiency in kilometers per liter 

• Reduction in rate of break downs by 10.000 km 

• Increased user satisfaction of women for travel on buses 

• Project Beneficiaries (core sector indicator)

The below facts and figures of these cities gives a good information of the kind of public transportation used : 

1. BHOPAL

2. CHANDIGARH

3. JAIPUR

4 Greater part of Mumbai
