Vadodara is a compact city with short trip lengths
Earlier proposals for Vadodara
• Integrated Public Transit System in 2009• Projects for mass transit identified
• Potential transit corridors
• Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) in 2010• To optimize the “mobility pattern of people and goods” rather
than of vehicles
• To focus on the improvement and promotion of public transport,
NMV and pedestrians
• To provide an effective platform for integrating land use and
transport planning
Mobility Challenges
• Rapid Growth
• High City Mobility
• Inadequacies in the road network
– Missing Hierarchy
– Lack of uniformity In ROW
– Constraints – River, Canal, Khadi, Railway Line
• Inadequate Public Transport
• Intrusion Of Regional Goods And Passenger Vehicles
• Congestion
• Network selection
• Roadway & Infrastructure Design
• Accessing inner city

Issues
Issues
Exploring options for accessing inner cityOption 1 : Elevated Corridor
PRO(s):
• Can respond to RoW constraints upto 18 m
CON(s):
•Accessibility to BRT Stations
•Increased cost of infrastructure
•Visually unappealing
Exploring options for accessing inner cityOption 2 : Pedestrian + Bus only corridor
PRO(s):
• Safe and secure pedestrian infrastructure
CON(s):
•Acceptance of people
•Can only be adopted to stretches with limited public property access

Option 3 : Traffic Management Plan
Required RoW for mini bus systems
5.5 m
6 m
mini Bus Lane
• Accessing the core is critical
• Accessing core areas of cities with all bus systems, there are limitation of width available on road
• Most part of the city centre is having road widths ranging from 16-24 meters
