Improving Public Transport in India; Part Ii
IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN INDIA; PART II An Overview in Pictures on advisable Rolling Stocks for Light Rail and Regional Rapid Transit - the Future of Mobility in India with Urban Rail By Dr. F.A. Wingler, Germany, April 2020 INTRODUCTION With a massive drive, India is on the way to provide MOBILITY as a SERVICE, MaaS, and to mitigate its often chaotic Urban Transport Environments. Investing in METRO- RAIL alone – although deployed in India in a large scale – does not solve the transport and traffic problems in congested areas. “Urban Rail” is a technical collective term encompassing Metro Rail, Commuter Rail, Light Metro, Light Rail Transit (“Metro-Lite”), Regional Rapid Transit and (Ultra) Very Light Rail Vehicles. India is proceeding to integrate Metro-Rail, Commuter Rail and Governmental Indian Railways within multimodal urban, suburban, interurban and regional public transport schemes by Hubs with LIGHT-METRO, LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, METRO-LITE and REGIONAL RAPID (Semi-High Speed) TRANSITS, RRTS. With Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite there is in India the aspect of INTEROPERABILITY of Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite with Metro Rail sharing track, lines and infrastructure as TRAM-METRO-TRAIN within a comprehensive Urban Rail Concept. Other affiliated transport modes to be connected and integrated are Rubber Tyred Bus Rapid Transit, BRT or METRO-NEO, WATER-METRO and Aerial METRO ROPEWAY: 1 Artist`s Concept for Dehradun Metro Ropeway; by F.A. Wingler The cost effective METRO-LITE can be regarded as the “YOUNGER SISTER OF METRO-RAIL”, and REGIONAL RAPID TRANSIT as the “FASTER BROTHER OF METRO RAIL”. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, LRT, WITH LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES, LRV The origin for LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT or “METRO-LITE” is based on electric City Trams, that started worldwide at begin of the last century. -
