Mumbai - Hub of Mass Transportation system

Greater Mumbai, the financial capital of India is the heart of commercial and trade activities of the country. Mumbai has always had the distinction and advantage of a high modal share (88%) in favor of a public mass transport system. The role of existing Suburban Rail Services is extremely important in the life of people of Greater Mumbai. The system carries about 6 million passengers every day. The BEST provides feeder services to the many station going passengers, to complete their journey. Due to the city’s geographical constraint, the road and rail infrastructure development could not keep the pace with the growing demand for last 4-5 decades.

Present traffic scenario

• 11 million people travel daily by Public Transport. (Rail- 48% , Bus- 44% & Private Vehicles - 8% ).
• Inadequate road network is slowing down the traffic causing chronic road congestion & Environmental pollution.
• Suburban rail traffic increased by 6 times while the capacity increased by only 2.3 times.
• 4500 passengers travel per train against the carrying capacity of 1750 resulting an unbearable overcrowding.
• Vehicular growth Increased from 61,000 to over 1.02 Million in the last four decades.

MRTS – Mass Rapid Transit System

N e e d for MRTS

• Existing suburban systems under extreme pressure
• Existing bus system’s role limited to providing feeder services to railways.
• Bus system alone cannot meet the future demand
• Constraints to expand the existing road network capacity
• The Road & Rail improvements not adequate for future demand
• Many pockets in Island city and suburbs not served by rail based mass system.
• Environmental deterioration due to growth in road traffic

W h y MRTS ?

Mass transit system is required as …

• ...it has high-capacity
• ...it is fast
• ...it is environment-friendly
• ...it is financially viable and economical
• ...and is attractive to the commuters

A d v a n t a g e s of MRTS

• Carries same amount of traffic as 6 lane bus or 26 lane Private cars (Either way).
• Reliable, Comfortable and Safe
• Reduces time by 50-75% as compared to road
• No Air pollution and less noise levels
• Energy efficient; Consumes 1/5th Energy per road passenger km.
• Occupies no road space if underground and only about 2m width of road if elevated

Project Inception

The Government of Maharashtra (GOM) through MMRDA, in order to improve the traffic and transportation scenario in Mumbai and to cater to the future travel needs in the next 2-3 decades has been exploring the viability of various alternative Mass Transit systems which are efficient, economically viable, environment friendly etc. In this context, a detailed feasibility study was carried out under the Indo-German Technical Co-operation by entrusting the consultancy work to TEWET in association with DE-Consult & TCS, during 1997-2000. The study recommended a mass transit corridor from Andheri to Ghatkopar as potentially bankable and economically viable, after examining a number of alternative corridors and alignments. This study was updated by MMRDA in May 2004. In the mean time, DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) prepared the master plan for Mumbai metro, wherein they have recommended to extend Andheri-Ghatkopar section to Versova as part of the master plan and identified as priority corridor for implementation. The GOM declared the project as ‘public vital infrastructure project’ and designated MMRDA as Project Implementation Agency (PIA). This is the first MRTS project in India being implemented on Public Private Partnership (PPP) format.
