Introduction

?Bus is the key mode of mass transit in the major cities in India

?More than 150,000 buses are operated by state transport

undertakings (STUs) in India.

?Around 7million ridership in public transport

?After the launch of Jn-NURM scheme (Phase I and II), the

production capacity of Indian bus manufacturers has

increased to 50,000 per annum.

?However, it is still very low compared to that of the Peoples’

Republic of China where the production capacity is around

550,000 buses every year.

?Inadequate “Class of Service” – perceived as poor man’s

choice.

?Policy and investment challenges

?Modal shift from motorised private modes

?Government of India has launched two flagship programmes -

100 Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban

Transformation (AMRUT) for 500 cities (with population of

100,000 or more) with a funding of $8 billion and $8.3 billion

respectively

?The smart cities initiative, focus will be on core infrastructure

service, whereas, AMRUT will adopt a project approach to

ensure basic infrastructure services.

?Both the Mission highlight the importance of the efficient

Urban Mobility and Public Transport

?This can’t be achieved without strengthening buses

Delhi has many unique features, including:
