As long as cities remain engines of growth they will continue sprawling. It has been observed that economic growth and associated migration often leads to overburdening of the existing transportation infrastructure of the cities. The current transportation scenario of Indian cities is primarily characterized by urban sprawl, declining modal share of public transport, increased vehicular growth and road fatalities. (Source:-12th Five Year Plan) The share of personal modes especially of two wheelers has gone up at the rate of 12% per annum in the past two decades, while public transport has generally dwindled (Source:- MOUD study 2008) The declining share of public transportation reflects its unattractiveness and insufficiency in addressing the needs of common people. On one hand, long waiting periods and uncertain travel conditions leads to difficulty of users and on the other hand multiplicity of the regulating authorities adds to it. Like anywhere else, urbanization has its effects on the city of Hyderabad in form of congestion, increased demand for public transportation. 3 Hyderabad City City Hyderabad Geographic location 17.20 N Latitude and 78.30 E Longitude and situated at an altitude of 536 meters above Mean Sea Level . Administrative status Joint State Capital of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana Area Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA): 7,257 sq km (Enlarged Jurisdiction of HUDA) Population (census 2011) 7.75 millions (as per census of 2011) 4 Existing Transportation scenario Highlights from Secondary data 1. Number of private vehicles have increased from 34.50% 7,00,859 in 2000 to about 26,24,011 in 2011 in 8% 1.80% 39.80% taxi HMA. 12.10% Auto 2. About 44000 APSRTC bus trips are made in 2 wheeler 3.85 Car HMA on an avg. basis daily and covers70% of the Bus city road network. MMTS 3. The daily passenger demand for public transportation modes in the city is about 36 lakhs. Figure: existing modal share Out of those 36 lakhs about 34 lakhs passengers use buses as the primary mode of transportation Only 36.3% of Public transport share in and rest MMTS and suburban rail services. the city 4. Majority of the bus users are comfortable to pay 10 percent more ticket fare for travelling in MMTS.

To assess passenger’s profile in terms of gender, age group, income groups and vehicular ownership. To determine the purpose of travel. To assess efficiency of the bus services and rail services in terms of carrying capacity. To obtain user’s feedback and satisfaction levels with regards to the key parameters like service frequency, reliability, availability of seats and safety. To identify the urban mobility issues and give recommendations to overcome the same. 6 Locations for Primary Surveys 1. Banjara hills 2. Jublie hills 3. Hi-Tech city 9 4. Dilsukhnagar 15 5. MGBS 3 6.

Survey showed that about 15.58% of the 80% 70% passengers change their mode (that is 60% 50% motorized mode, excluding trips with walk 40% 34% as one of the modes) at least once. 30% 23% 18% 20% 8% 2. 7.3 % of the trips include modal shifts 10% 0% between buses and trains. (source: primary Walking Bus Train 2 wheeler Auto/Taxi survey) 3. About 92% of the trips involve bus as one Figure: Percentage of trips with different modes as one of the modes of the modes in the modal splits of the in modal split trips. Thus bus dominates as one of the modes followed by walk and train 9 Issues identified and Recommendations ISSUES IDENTIFIED 1. Bus services dominate as the primary mode of travel. 2. Buses run with full of their capacity (in peak hours) which is reflected by the poor availability of seats in the buses. 3. The ridership trends of the city from the secondary data have depicted that the capacity of MMTS services is yet to be utilized fully. 4. There is need to improve the accessibility of the citizens to the MMTS stations. 5. There is no coordination amongst the various public transportation modes operating in the city. RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations made in the following sections are solely with the aim of:- 1. Enhancing the connectivity of APSRTC station points with MMTS stations and thus diverting the stream of passengers from APSRTC to MMTS services. 2. Increasing the accessibility of the passengers to the MMTS stations so as to ensure more ridership for the underutilized MMTS service. 3. Increasing the modal share of the public transportation systems in the city with a coordinated approach. 10 Multi-Modal Integration of Transportation Systems Any transportation system works better with an integrated approach than in isolation. And also this will increase the efficiency of public transportation systems by diverting the stream of passengers more from private modes to public modes. Multi-modal integration can be achieved by following ways:- 1. Institutional integration 2. Fare Integration 3. Physical Integration APSRTC Bus services 4. Network Integration MMTS services 5. Information Integration 11 Modifying some exiting APSRTC bus routes Figure:- Existing APSRTC bus service routes and unconnected MMTS stations Source: www.hyderabad-india-online.com/2009/11/major-bus-routes-of-tsrtc-in-twin-cities/ 12 Fatehnagar Sanjeeviah Park Sitafal mundi Necklace Road Arts college James Street Dabeerpura Yakutpura Figure: Recommended modified routes including MMTS station Modified Routes:- Connected MMTS stations:- 1.

From Rail passenger survey, locations with highest number of passenger travelling through MMTS are selected which are Nampally, Begumpeth, Lingampally, Falaknuma and Hi-Tech City. 2. Travel Time:- The time taken by the feeder bus to reach the MMTS station after completing the route should be in accordance with the current frequency of the MMTS trains, so that the commuters will make use of this feeder bus service to catch the MMTS rail services. 3. Speed of the feeder bus is taken as 20 kmph as the average journey speed in the peak hours in the Hyderabad Municipal corporation area is 20 kmph. (source: Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, Comprehensive Transportation Study (CTS) for Hyderabad Metropolitan Area (HMA), 2013). 4. Frequency of MMTS rail services on all the 5 stations have been found out from the time table of MMTS schedule (as provided in the official website www.mmtstraintimings.in) and minimum frequency has been taken as design frequency. The value of minimum frequency is substituted at the place of “Time” value in the formula. Calculations have been done for all the five stations and distance to be covered by the feeder bus is found out at the respective stations. Additional five minutes has been considered as the journey delay time. 14 Feeder Bus Route Design Frequency Distance to of MMTS be covered Station MMTS Routes Min.
