I believe Mr Menon wanted to see a visual depiction of the Metro and CRS routes on a single map. I had checked earlier - Metro & CRS routes are close to one another at flwg locations:

1) Byp to KR Puram - abt 3km;
2) Deepanjali nagar to RV College (Mysore rd) - abt 5km;
3) Majestic to Malleswaram - abt 2.5km

See map below for track routes of both (Metro ph-1 & 2) & all rail tracks.

maybe its already been done, but would be nice to see( even at a conceptual level) , a visual depiction of the metro( as envisaged) and the CRS( as envisaged) on a single map.

Especially for the within city limits.

for me this has something to do

a)with the "75 new stations required " statement by RITES( unless thy are mostly outside limits)

b) never realy understood the Metro /CRS interplay ( if there is one) .

 

cheers .

During the panel discussion couple of points were rasied by the TV9 anchors and notbaly among them were,

• last mile connectivity
• project implementation

Both issues are very important and to some extent Prof. Sitharam answered the nuances of both issues.

After going through the recording, I realized this needs to be articulated more in detail. The skepticism on last mile connectivity seems to be based on understanding of the current locations of stations that exists today.

For good sustainable last mile connectivity,

• Stations should be within walking/biking range within city. RITES recommends them to be at 1 KM / 2 KM apart. Which means, new stations needs to be created.
• Outside city limits 5 KM apart is recommended.
• A total of 35+ New stations have been recommended.
• Having Bus connectivity at each station would solve issues for those who live outside the catchment areas.
• Parking for bicycles and 2 wheelers must be at each station.
• Parking for 4 wheelers and big vehicles must be at all major stations.
• Integration with Metro, KSRTC, Mono/Light Rail is a must for higher ridership.

Interesting data from 2012 RITES report, Chapter 5,

    Demand Assesment
# of commuters trips per day Patronage Service Level 2011 2020 2030 LOW Basic CRS services with very low multimodal integration at stations: 1 Km catchment area and 10% modal share of total trips. 328413 468850 693051 MEDIUM Full-fledged CRS services but with low multimodal integration: 2 Km catchment area and 20% modal share of total trips. 625582 924624 1384649 HIGH Full-fledged CRS services but with good multimodal integration: 5 Km catchment area and 30% modal share of total trips. 904663 1352660 2034153

Excellent map!  Really provides the big picture.  The overlapping lines sadly reflect lack of master planning and coordination. What a big waste in our "poor" country.  If metro and railway gauges were the same, metro could "hop" on and off railway lines where needed.  Just as metro should have shared stations inside TTMCs.  Again, lack of planning and coordination.  Oh well, swalpa adjust maadi.

@vmenon, The number of new stations should be around 35+ not 75 as noted earlier. I have corrected the figures. Sorry about that. This data in RITES report refers to Praja's report.
