  • Gmt Urban Rail 2016.Qxp
    URBAN RAIL IN INDIA 2016 Market Analysis, Outlook and Projections Urban railway systems are increasingly becoming popular in India to ease the traffic congestion and solve mobility problems in cities with high population density. They form the backbone of integrated public transport systems and facilitate transit-oriented development. With growth driven by favourable public opinion and environmental concerns, the average daily ridership on rail-based systems has increased from 0.9 million to 3.87 million in 2016. Over 60 km of the urban rail network has been added in the two year period 2014-2016. As of May 2016, network of over 300 km has been developed in 7 cities at an investment of USD6.8 billion. This is planned to be increased by over 2,600 km in 48 cities at an investment of about USD100 billion by 2023. Of the upcoming projects, the greatest share is of the projects which have completed initial studies and received approval of the central or state government. While majority of these projects are metrorail systems, light rail and monorail lines are also underway. The current level of activity in the urban rail segment presents significant opportunities for consultants, developers, contractors, operators, rolling stock manufacturers, signalling and communications technology providers, fare system providers, equipment manufacturers, construction material suppliers, etc. The market share of international suppliers is high and expected to grow further. The Urban Rail in India 2016 report provides comprehensive and updated information on the present scenario and future outlook of the urban rail sector in India. It presents key information required to assess opportunities in the development of new systems; extension and capacity enhancements of existing systems; delivery of advanced fare collection services; deployment of power distribution systems and signalling technologies; etc.

  • A Metro Station Or Subway Station Is a Railway Station for a Rapid Transit System, Often Known by Names Such As "Metro", "Underground" and "Subway"
    A metro station or subway station is a railway station for a rapid transit system, often known by names such as "metro", "underground" and "subway". Some metro systems, such as those of Montreal, Stockholm, Prague and Moscow, are famous for the beautiful architecture and public art. The Paris Métro is famous for its art nouveau station entrances; while the Athens Metro is known for its display of archeological relics , Sir Norman Foster's new system in Bilbao, Spain uses the same modern architecture at every station to make navigation easier for the passenger, though some may argue that this is at the expense of character. In some stations, especially where trains are fully automated, the entire platform is screened from the track by a wall, typically of glass, with automatic platform-edge doors (PEDs). These open, like elevator doors, only when a train is stopped, and thus eliminate the hazard that a passenger will accidentally fall (or deliberately jump) onto the tracks and be run over or electrocuted. The largest metro station in the world is the Paris Métro-RER station Châtelet-Les Halles in France[1]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Locale National Capital Region, India Transit type Rapid transit Number of 6 lines [1][2] Number of 132 stations Daily 1.5 million[3][4] ridership Chief E.
