I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (Line 3: Nhon–Ha Noi station section) is to develop: (i) a 12.5 kilometer (km) long dual track rail line from Nhon to Ha Noi main railway station1; and (ii) electrical and mechanical (E&M) systems, including all railway systems required to operate a modern metro line. In addition, support will be provided for detailed design, procurement, construction supervision, design verification, project management and capacity development. 2. The Metro Line 3 is one of four priority rail lines under the Ha Noi Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP) until 2020 in accordance with Prime Minister’s Decision No.90/2008/QD- DTG of 9 July 2008. Metro Line 3 will facilitate public transport connectivity, enhance access in six Ha Noi districts and form an integral part of an improved public transport system that aims to increase the modal share of public transport to 40% of demand, through low-carbon transport that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The executing agency (EA) is the Ha Noi People’s Committee (HPC) and the implementing agency (IA) is the Ha Noi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB). 3. The impact of the project will be the establishment of an integrated sustainable public transport system in six districts of Ha Noi.2 The outcome will be competitive metro rail services along the project corridor. The project outputs will be: (i) Metro Line 3 is operational; and (ii) improved implementation capacity of MRB.3 (i) Component 1 - Metro Line 3 System Development: including all Works and E&M systems for Metro line 3, from Nhon depot in the west to Ga Ha Noi measuring (a) approximately 12.5 km in length, of which about 3.5 km is underground, about 8.5 km will be elevated and about 500 meters will be in transition ramp; and (b) depot and ancillary buildings, elevated viaducts, transition tunnel portal, bored tunnels, and 12 stations. The Works portion of this component includes all civil, structural, building services, architectural/builders work and all necessary utility services to the works. The E&M system portion of this component includes all railway systems including track work, rolling stock, traction power, signaling and telecommunications, E&M systems and facilities, and ticketing system and ancillary services and facilities required to operate a modern Metro line. (ii) Component 2 – Implementation Support: supporting to MRB to improve metro development, implementation and operations capacity by providing skills in specific technical disciplines and knowledge transfer of these skills to MRB staff through on-the-job training and workshops, and addressing organizational, functional, and technical capacity shortfalls. 4. Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided technical assistance for initial feasibility study of the project.4 The original ADB loan of $293 million from ordinary capital resources (OCR) 1 The rail system included 3.5 km underground, 8.5 km elevated, and 500 m in a transition ramp, including a depot with ancillary buildings at Nhon, elevated viaducts, transition tunnel portal, bored tunnels, and 12 stations. 2 Number of districts increased from five to six as Tu Liem was split into Tu Liem North and Tu Liem South in 2012. 3 At time of loan approval in 2011, MRB was named Ha Noi Metropolitan Rail Transport Project Board. 4 ADB. 2006. Technical Assistance to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam for Preparing the Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project. Manila (TA 4900-VIE). The feasibility study was subsequently updated and completed by DGT-funded consultants. 2 financing for the project was approved on 29 March 2011, and made effective on 13 March 2012. With cofinancing from Agence Française de Développement (AFD) for €110 million, Direction Générale du Trésor (DGT) for €250 million and European Investment Bank (EIB) for €73 million, nine civil work and equipment contracts and four consulting services contracts have been financed. ADB finances one civil works contract for the tunnel section and four underground stations.5 5. Project Progress. The project faced start-up delays due to slow progress in land acquisition and resettlement (LAR), and delays in design and procurement. To date, four out of total nine contract packages

Problems such as increased traffic congestion, lowered traffic safety, and air pollution interfere with urban activities. In the future, the traffic problems will become increasingly serious; therefore, it is necessary to establish an urban railway system for the sustainable development of the City. Under the situation, JICA conducted a comprehensive urban development program in Hanoi capital city of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (ended in March 2007). As a result of the study, a master plan was prepared on the transportation and traffic sector targeting 2020, which includes the construction of an urban mass rapid transit system in Hanoi.

  • Mumbai Metro Transforming Transport Contributing Toward an Equitable, Safer, and Cleaner City
    Mumbai Metro Transforming Transport Contributing Toward an Equitable, Safer, and Cleaner City Mumbai is the financial capital of India and one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Its existing public transport infrastructure is outdated, overutilized, and under tremendous stress. This book discusses the paradigm shift and benefits that the Mumbai Metro can bring in the public transportation scenario for millions of people in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The metro will provide equal access for all to a modern, comfortable, and high-quality daily commuting transport option. It will feature safety designs (especially for the vulnerable sectors), ease traffic congestion, and reduce vehicular emissions, thereby contributing toward making Mumbai a more equitable, safer, and cleaner city.

  • Mass Transit Rail
    Longer Term Investments Mass Transit Rail CIO WM Research | 3 May 2017 Carl Berrisford, analyst • Asia will drive mass global migration from countryside to city over the next two decades. The number of Asians living in megacities of over 10 million is forecast to double by 2025, according to the United Nations. Meanwhile, vehicle ownership is doubling every five years amid rising income, and sharply rising CO2 emissions are adding to air quality problems in Asia's largest cities. • Mass transit rail (MTR) systems have proven highly cost- effective transport solutions for Asia's megacities due to their high population densities. Asian countries, including India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, are expected to spend over USD 200bn in greenfield MTR systems in the next decade to Source: Martin Ruetschi combat rising urban congestion. • Companies with high exposure to MTR systems – namely contractors, property developers, capital equipment suppliers, and MTR operators – will enjoy high earnings visibility across the public spending cycle, as well as above-GDP earnings growth rates, suggesting an attractive long-term opportunity. Mass transit rail (MTR) – also known in Asia as mass rapid transit, urban transit, metro, underground, and subway – networks have been long-established icons across many of Asia's developed capitals, including Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Seoul. However, in recent years, rapid urbanization and immigration from the countryside have seen population explosions in several key cities in emerging Asia, especially in China and India. This, coupled with the sharp growth in car ownership and the emergence of the city commuter, has led to gridlocked traffic often exacerbated by poor urban planning.
