The transportation optimization model has been prepared on the Microsoft-Excel Spreadsheet & the optimization of distribution of vehicles is done by using Premium Solver. The results clearly show that the requirement of buses at some routes was less than the available buses plying on the route & the requirement of buses at some routes was more than the available buses plying on the route. The optimization is done on the basis of least cost methods fulfilling the travel demands of flow of passengers at different interval of time in a day at each route of our study. More number of required vehicles in the optimized scenario in the route means more transportation cost, more energy consumption & more environmental emissions than the present scenario & Lesser number of required vehicles in the optimized scenario in the route means lesser transportation cost, lesser energy consumption & lesser environmental emissions than the present scenario.

    The proposed Nepal-China trans-border railway in Nepal’s collective imagination Krishna P. Pandey Vol. 7, pp. 82–97 | ISSN 2050-487X | www.southasianist.ed.ac.uk 2020 | The South Asianist 7: 82-97 | pg. 82 Vol. 7, pp. 82-97 The proposed Nepal-China trans-border railway in Nepal’s collective imagination KRISHNA P. PANDEY Purbanchal University Nepal-China relations have been amicable since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1955. Consequently, the image of China in Nepal’s collective imagination has remained positive. This imagination reached new heights when China welcomed the promulgation of Nepal's new constitution in September 2015, while India, opposed to the promulgation, imposed an embargo. The Indian embargo not only undermined Nepali sovereignty by disapproving of the contents of the new constitution, but also compelled Nepal to think about lessening its dependency on India. The most obvious route was to expand trans-border connectivity with China. In March 2016, Nepal and China inked a ‘historic’ trade deal aiming to expand trans-border connectivity including a much-hyped trans-border railway link. Drawing broad public support, the deal had the effect of revitalising Nepali aspirations of coming out of an ‘India-locked’ trade and transit. This article examines opposing voices regarding the significance of this shift. On the one hand, there are those that embrace expansion of Nepal-China cross-border railway connectivity. Here, hopes are that railway connectivity will shift Nepal’s destiny away from dependence on India. On the other hand, many are wary that such a project is unaffordable, technically difficult, and most importantly, it plays into China’s interests in South Asian sub-regional geopolitics.
