Pune Metro Station Area Management and Dispersal

Abstract

Due to increasing traffic congestion on the Pune road network and the high rate of private car usage, planners and implementing agencies have decided to invest in upgrades to the city's transport infrastructure. Transit experts have come to the conclusion that more people need to start using public transit instead of driving their own cars. This has resulted in the issues discussed in this paper, which have led to large, expensive projects that frequently fail to deliver the anticipated benefits and to ignore faster, cheaper alternatives that may be more beneficial. In order to implement integrated, comprehensive, and least-cost planning that takes into account supply and demand side options, urban local bodies need to be reformed in a way that makes them transparent and directly accountable to citizens. If this isn't done, our cities will become increasingly congested and unlivable as large sums of money are invested in projects involving urban transportation. Consequently, this might put an end to the nation's much-touted economic boom tale. Provisions for other current transport systems, such as BRTS, should be established, as well as upgrades to appropriate transit, rather than only relying on metro rail. The aforementioned options may assist alleviate some of the market difficulties now being experienced by the metro. The creation of a multi-modal transportation network is essential. If solutions are supplied and implemented, the problems being experienced by other current metros may be affected, and a speedier integrated system can be accomplished in a shorter length of time. If the subterranean corridor can be used at all, it should be used to its full potential so that the benefits of both choices may be fully realized. The Pune metro rail may be optimized and made more efficient by implementing the aforementioned solutions over the course of the next several years. Supply and demand may be managed with the use of an environmental impact assessment and in-depth socioeconomic surveys of both corridors.
