Download or read book Indore City Bus Transport Service B written by G. Raghuram and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards the end of 1990s, mounting losses forced the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (MPSRTC), the sole provider of public transport in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, to suspend its urban transport services. As a consequence, organized public transport services ceased to exist in Indore, the largest metropolitan city in the state. This void was filled by the Intermediate Public Transport System (IPTS), consisting of minibuses, tempos and auto rickshaws. In January 2004, 300 private minibuses, 150 tempos, and 10,000 auto rickshaws were plying in the city under the IPTS.Worried over the rapid growth in the number of personalized vehicles and the high levels of pollution and accidents in Indore, policy makers and administrators made several attempts to revive the public transport system in the city, but with little success. They believed that the lack of public transportation was the catalyst for the increase in personalized vehicles, pollution levels and the number of accidents in the city.In 2005, the Collector and District Magistrate of Indore, Vivek Aggarwal, decided to make another attempt to revive the city's public transport system. This attempt was conceived as a public-private partnership (PPP), and the Indore City Transport Service Limited (ICTSL) was the special purpose vehicle (SPV) created to run the system. The two cases, Indore City Transport Service (A) and Indore City Transport Service (B), discuss the complexity involved in planning, rolling out and running a public transport service in Indore on a sustainable basis.Case (B) discusses the challenges ICTSL faced during the growth and operation of the service. An unprecedented rise in crude oil prices, along with: i) an increase in the maintenance cost of buses, the price of new buses and bank interest, and ii) a decrease/ marginal increase in fare box revenue (as more commuters shifted to monthly passes) and advertisement revenue, depleted bus operators' margins substantially. Further, there had been no increase in bus fare since the launch of the service in February 2006. ICTSL's chief executive, Chandramouli Shukla, was convinced that the company would survive only if the bus operators were able to survive. The readers have to take the position of the Board of Directors of ICTSL in June 2008 and consider the various options available to them for running the service on a sustainable basis.

Book excerpt: Towards the end of the 1990s, mounting losses forced the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (MPSRTC), the sole provider of public transport in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, to suspend its urban transport services. As a consequence, organized public transport services ceased to exist in Indore, the largest metropolitan city in the state. This void was soon filled by the Intermediate Public Transport System (IPTS), consisting of minibuses, tempos and auto rickshaws. In January 2004, 300 private minibuses, 150 tempos and 10,000 auto rickshaws were plying in the city under the IPTS.According to policy makers and city administrators, lack of public transport (PT) was one of the key reasons for the sharp increase in personalized vehicles on the roads, leading to an alarming increase in pollution levels and in the number of road accidents. Worried over the deteriorating condition of the city, they made several attempts to revive the public transport system, but these were unsuccessful for a variety of reasons.Then, in November 2005, the Collector and District Magistrate of Indore, Vivek Aggarwal, decided to make another attempt to revive the city's public transport system. This attempt was conceived as a public-private partnership (PPP). The two cases, Indore City Transport Service (A) and Indore City Transport Service (B), discuss the complexity involved in planning, rolling out and running a public transport service in Indore on a sustainable basis.Case (A) details the prevalent socioeconomic conditions and travel characteristics of Indore and the positions taken by various stakeholders with regard to providing a public transport service in the city. The readers/ participants have to conceptualize a transport system for the city, and, taking the role of Aggarwal, they must prepare a concept note for the state cabinet's approval.
Download or read book BRTS Indore written by Keyur B. Thaker and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Indore, a commercial hub of Madhya Pradesh province of India through a SPV, Atal Indore City Transport Service Ltd. (AICTSL), initiated the development of BRTS on a PPP (public-private partnership) model in 2007. It invited partnerships with private parties for bus operators, construction and other services to induct iBus (BRT buses) on specific routes. Prior to 2007, the city was reeling under poor traffic conditions with a modest road infrastructure, erratic traffic and pitiful public transportation. BRTS was launched to enhance city roads, improve traffic conditions and encourage the public to use public transportation and reduce reliance on private vehicles. However, the corridor infrastructure work was delayed and even after the launch of BRT buses in 2013, controversies further played spoil sport. Congestion increased at crossovers and common lanes and numerous road fatalities steered public interest litigations that questioned the very design and purpose of the BRTS. A court verdict allowing four wheelers to use the lane that was envisioned exclusively for BRTS and a review the traffic conditions and corridor configurations was a major obstacle for bringing a world class sustainable public transportation system to Indore.This case provides an interesting setting to study various aspects of development, structuring, financing, feasibility and viability of the BRTS. The case highlights various issues faced by managers and regulators handling city transportation projects.This case would be suitable for courses on project financing, public-private partnerships, infrastructure financing for modules related to transportation and infrastructure financing or structuring PPP for graduates and executive program levels.
Download or read book Public Private Partnerships written by G Ramesh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of papers brings out the complexities in PPP in terms of types, conceptualization, structure, institutions, and financing. It covers a broad sweep ranging from infrastructure to services and utilities; and from global to Indian states. The methodology is primarily empirical but the thrust is on conceptualization of PPP in its various forms and frameworks. PPP is still a practitioner’s field but is growing in size and significance; and as a solution to failures of public system and the consequent privatization. It is a major attraction to policy makers and funding agencies given its middle-of-the-road approach. It is likely to gain currency, but it is important that we get deeper understandings of this form before we place more faith in this. The papers in this book, selected from a conference on PPP held at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore in 2008, raise several important conceptual issues and seek to address some of them.
