According to Niti Aayog : India@75 report, it is quintessential to have INDIA on wheel : India on move highlighting need on seamless urban mass transport.
Body
HACKLED URBAN TRANSPORT : FACTORS
silos and disintegrated approach → 60% share - road transport → logistically not comparable and practical. (US: 20%, china 25%.) → Mix of passenger & freight inadequate - tilted towards passenger.
Lack of research and infrastructure ↳ only 2% research budget of ministry ↳ quality of roads, railway lines etc ↳ 16 people die each hour. e.g.: Balasore rail accident.
Finances and organisational lacuna → Logistics cost 14%. → inter ministerial overlap. (eg:- MoRail, MoCivil Aviation, NHAI) etc.
MEASURES FOR ROBUST PARADIGM
- Integration approach → H I R A - comprehensive mobility plan
→ as suggested by Hon'ble P.M
Best Practice:
- MITRA model in Mysore,
- Surat model
- Paris Model
Safety expenditure to be separety kept - (Kakodkar committee)
Urban land planning & traffic management system through control Rooms eg- BIHAR
Increase in government expenditure through PM GATI SHAKTI
