  • Understanding Users' Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System In
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Understanding Users’ Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System in India: A Case-Study of Mumbai Rahul Deb Das 1,2 1 Department of Geography, University of Zurich, CH-8006 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 IBM, Mies-van-der-Rohe-Strasse 6, 80807 Munich, Germany Abstract: In this work, we present a novel approach to understand the quality of public transit system in resource constrained regions using user-generated contents. With growing urban population, it is getting difficult to manage travel demand in an effective way. This problem is more prevalent in developing cities due to lack of budget and proper surveillance system. Due to resource constraints, developing cities have limited infrastructure to monitor transport services. To improve the quality and patronage of public transit system, authorities often use manual travel surveys. But manual surveys often suffer from quality issues. For example, respondents may not provide all the detailed travel information in a manual travel survey. The survey may have sampling bias. Due to close-ended design (specific questions in the questionnaire), lots of relevant information may not be captured in a manual survey process. To address these issues, we investigated if user-generated contents, for example, Twitter data, can be used to understand service quality in Greater Mumbai in India, which can complement existing manual survey process. To do this, we assumed that, if a tweet is relevant to public transport system and contains negative sentiment, then that tweet expresses user’s dissatisfaction towards the public transport service.

  • India 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Mumbai
    India 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Mumbai This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in India. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s India-specific webpage for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses most of India at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk: do not travel to the state of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; and do not travel to within ten kilometers of the border with Pakistan due to the potential for armed conflict. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System Overall Crime and Safety Situation The Consulate represents the United States in Western India, including the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Goa. Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Mumbai as being a MEDIUM-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government. Although it is a city with an estimated population of more than 25 million people, Mumbai remains relatively safe for expatriates. Being involved in a traffic accident remains more probable than being a victim of a crime, provided you practice good personal security.

  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

  • 49469-007: Mumbai Metro Rail Systems Project
    Mumbai Metro Rail Systems Project (RRP IND 49469) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): TRANSPORT (RAIL AND URBAN)1 Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Urban transport. Efficient and sustainable urban transport systems and mobility are critical for the smooth functioning of India’s cities. From 1981 to 2011, the number of total registered vehicles grew at a rate of 11.7% per year, compared to population growth of 2% per year.2 The rapid increase in the number of vehicles has led to severe air pollution, which is becoming a serious health hazard in many cities. The government is consequently committed to promoting public transport systems. Public transportation infrastructure in India needs high levels of investment and massive upgrading to spur a modal shift from private vehicles. It is estimated that over 50% of Indians will be living in urban areas by 2050.3 In 2006, the Government of India issued the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) that provides a broad framework for development of urban transport.4 Metro rail is seen as a necessary solution for developing mass rapid transit systems in India’s large cities, while smaller and medium-sized cities are exploring the option of bus rapid transit. 2. In India, the states and union territories plan, execute, and develop urban transport facilities. However, the current suburban railway system is within the purview of the national railway administration. Indian Railways has been operating suburban rail services in Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai, as a means of rail-based mass transit with a focus on long-haul freight and passenger movement.

It focuses on the widespread practice of eating homemade lunches in the workplace, important for commuters to replenish mind and body with foods that embody their specific family backgrounds, in a society where religious, caste, class, and community markers comprise complex dietary regimes. Eating such charged substances in the office canteen was essential in reproducing selfhood and social distinction within Mumbai’s cosmopolitan environment.

  • 1.Introduction
    PRE – FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PROPOSED QUARDUPLING OF VIRAR – DAHANU ROAD SECTION 11.. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Mumbai, with a population of over 13 million is the largest metropolis in India and one of the most populous cities in the world. It is expected to have a population of 34.0 million by 2031. To cater to the mobility needs, an efficient suburban rail system runs across of MMR. The existing suburban rail system is one of the most crowded and overloaded suburban systems in the world. Two zonal railways, the Western Railway (WR) and the Central Railway (CR), operate the Mumbai Suburban Railway system. Western Railway operates the Western Line from Churchgate to Dahanu Road (124 km) and the Central Railway operates the Central and Harbour Lines. The Corridor from Churchgate to Mumbai Central and from Borivili to Virar consists of quadruple lines, while Mumbai Central to Borivili has 5 lines except Mahim to Santacruz, where 5th line is under construction. Further, two harbour lines of Central Railway run parallel to Western Railway network from Santacruz to Andheri. The City is expanding towards Virar and beyond. Many large and medium scaled industries have come up between Virar and Dahanu Road due to comparatively cheaper land. To meet the mobility requirements, Indian Railways (IR) and Government of Maharashtra (GoM) through Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) Ltd., Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) and the World Bank (WB) have planned a comprehensive investment scheme for improving and expanding the transportation network of Mumbai, through Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP). MUTP I & II has given the kick to provide 5th & 6th Lines between Kurla – Thane, Quadrupling of section between Borivali – Virar, 5th Line between Mahim – Santacruz, conversion of services from DC to AC, 5th & 6th lines between CSTM – Kurla and Thane – Diwa, 6th line between Borivali – Mumbai Central, Extension of Harbour line from Andheri to Goregaon and DC to AC conversion from CST Mumbai to Thane.

  • CORPORATE PLAN 2014-2034 (Revised November 2017)
    CORPORATE PLAN 2014-2034 (Revised November 2017) 1 INTRODUCTION The Mumbai Suburban Railway network caters to 8.0 million commuters every day. It has the highest passenger density in the World, ahead of even Tokyo and Seoul. Almost half of the total daily passengers using the entire Indian Railway System are from Mumbai Suburban Railway system alone. Mumbai Suburban Railway system, in spite of heavy demands on it, has provided an efficient and reliable service. However, the pressure continues and today it has reached alarming proportions. Overcrowding has grown to such an extent that 5,000 passengers are traveling per 9-car train during peak hours, as against the rated carrying capacity of 1,750. This has resulted in, what is known as, super dense crush load of upto 16 standing passengers per square metre of floor space. Given the geographical spread of the population and location of business areas, the rail network will continue to be the principal mode of mass transport in Mumbai. View of an overcrowded Mumbai suburban train To enable the Mumbai Suburban Railway system to meet the demands of the ever- growing passenger traffic, Ministry of Railways and the Government of Maharashtra have joined hands to face the challenge. 2. MUMBAI RAILWAY VIKAS CORPORATION LTD Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd (MRVC Ltd), a PSU of Govt. of India under Ministry of Railways (MOR) was incorporated under Companies Act, 1956 on 12.07.1999 with an equity capital of Rs. 25 Crores shared in the ratio of 51:49 between Ministry of Railways and Government of Maharashtra to implement the Rail Component of an integrated rail-cum-road urban transport project called Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP).
