The Crisis of Public Transport in India
The Crisis of Public Transport in India The Crisis of Public Transport in India: Overwhelming Needs but Limited Resources John Pucher and Nisha Korattyswaroopam, Rutgers University Neenu Ittyerah, Indian Railways, Chennai, India Abstract The rapid growth of India’s urban population has put enormous strains on all trans- port systems. Burgeoning travel demand far exceeds the limited supply of transport infrastructure and services. Public transport, in particular, has been completely over- whelmed. Most bus and train services are overcrowded, undependable, slow, incon- venient, uncoordinated, and dangerous. Moreover, the public ownership and opera- tion of most public transport services has greatly reduced productivity and inflated costs. India’s cities desperately need improved and expanded public transport ser- vice. Unfortunately, meager government financial assistance and the complete lack of any supportive policies, such as traffic priority for buses, place public transport in an almost impossible situation. Introduction Public transport faces severe problems in almost all countries of the developing world, although the situation varies from one country to another, and even from one city to another (Vasconcellos 2001). Perhaps most important, the lack of fi- nancial resources prevents necessary investments in maintaining and upgrading 95 Journal of Public Transportation, Vol. 7, No. 3, 2004 existing bus and rail systems and building new ones. Likewise, many advanced tech- nologies long available in Western Europe are simply not affordable in most devel- oping countries. Public transport systems in the Third World are plagued by chronic corruption and inefficiency, overcrowded and undependable service, congested roadways that slow down buses, and an operating environment that is often cha- otic and completely uncoordinated.

Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

Konkan Railway Corporation Limited
October 27, 2017 Konkan Railway Corporation Limited Summary of rated instruments Instrument* Rated Amount Rating Action (Rs. crore) Non-Convertible Debentures 1500.00 [ICRA]AAA(S) (Stable); reaffirmed Total 1500.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rating action ICRA has re-affirmed the long-term rating for the non-convertible debenture (NCD) programme aggregating to Rs. 1,500 crore1 of Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL or the company)2 at [ICRA]AAA(S) (pronounced ICRA triple A S)3. The outlook on the long-term rating is ‘Stable’. The letter S in parenthesis suffixed to a rating symbol denotes that the rating is supported by a Letter of Comfort. An (S) rating does not represent ICRA’s opinion on the general credit quality of the issuer concerned. Rationale The rating is based on the strength of the Letter of Comfort issued by Ministry of Railways, Government of India (GOI). The rating also factors the payment mechanism designed to ensure timely payment on the rated NCDs as per the terms of the transaction. Further, the rating draws comfort from the majority shareholding of GoI in KRCL (51% ownership). The balance 49% stake is being held by Government of Maharashtra (22%), Government of Karnataka (15%), Government of Goa (6%) and Government of Kerala (6%). Key rating drivers Credit strengths Letter of Comfort from Ministry of Railways - The NCDs are backed by a Letter of Comfort (LOC) from Ministry of Railways, Government of India.

Indian Railways Budget Speech 1998 -1999 (Final) 636 Speech of Shri Nitish Kumar Introducing the Railway Budget for 1998
Indian Railways Budget Speech 1998 -1999 (Final) Speech of Shri Nitish Kumar Introducing the Railway Budget for 1998- 99, on 29 th May 1998 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1998-99 for the Indian Railways. These Estimates reflect certain decisions taken by the Government after I presented an interim Budget to this august House on the 25th of March 1998. Introduction 2. In the last few months, Sir, I have had the opportunity of looking at the Indian Railways from close quarters. I have formed certain perceptions about their role, the present state of their health, the problems they face and the possible solutions. I would like to share these perceptions briefly with the Hon'ble Members. 3. Besides being a symbol of national integration, the Indian Railways are both a barometer and a principal determinant of the economic and social health of the nation. At this juncture, when the country is poised for significantly higher economic growth, Indian Railways cannot fail to match that growth. People must therefore know certain facts about the Railways - especially what the Railways can do, what they are unable to do and why. The Status Paper laid by me in the House two days back is an attempt to bring out these facts. 4. On this occasion, I would like to highlight a few of the basic issues that confront the Indian Railways. Sir, it is well known that Railways have a number of intrinsic advantages - they are six times more energy efficient, four times more efficient in land use and significantly superior from the standpoints of environmental impact and safety as compared to road transport.

A Case Study of Konkan Railways
PROMOTING LOW CARBON TRANSPORT IN INDIA Impact Assessment and Management Framework for Infrastructure Assets: A Case Study of Konkan Railways Authors Amit Garg Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad Prakriti Naswa Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad P.R. Shukla Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad August 2013 UNEP Risø Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development Technical University of Denmark This publication is part of the ‘Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India’ project ISBN: 978-87-92706-25-6 Design and production: Magnum Custom Publishing New Delhi, India [email protected] Photo acknowledgement: Front cover: Vinayaraj, 2012; Wikimedia commons Back cover: Prakriti Naswa Disclaimer: The findings, suggestions and conclusions presented in the case study are entirely those of the authors and should not be attributed in any manner to UNEP Risø Centre or the United Nations Environment Programme, nor to the institutions of individual authors. Preface Huge investments are being committed in new infrastructure projects in developing countries. Infrastructuresare long-life assets and are designed to withstand normal variability in climate regime. The Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL), a railway line operating for the past decade on the western coast of India, has met with two major accidents since its inception due to bad weather conditions. This case study presents the uncertainties and risks that such infrastructure assets face due to the changing climate, and suggests possible adaptation strategies. A framework for assessing the likely climate change impacts on long-life assets, using a methodology of reverse matrix for climate change impact analysis, is also suggested. The framework links climate change variables – temperature, rainfall, sea level rise, extreme events, and other secondary variables – and sustainable development variables – technology, institutions, economic, and other policies.
