PIMPRI CHINCHWAD

BRT

The city of Pimpri-Chinchwad is situated northeast of Pune and is 160 km from Mumbai, the capital of state of Maharashtra. It is predominantly an industrial area, which has developed during the last four decades. The city of Pimpri-Chinchwad has seen a high rate of population growth and development in the recent past. Due to its proximity to Pune and its significance as an industrial hub of the region, the city is expected to continue its growth in the future.

Based on the current traffic and forecast demand, a bus-based rapid transit system was found to be the appropriate public transportation system for the city of Pimpri-Chinchwad.

GEF-SUTP demonstration project would include the following major components for PCMC:

• Construction of two new road-cum-BRT corridors (19 km)
• On two previously built BRT corridors, passenger access to BRT stations, such as over- and underpasses and improved at-grade crossings
• GPS system to control BRT operation. This is a relatively small addition to a similar component for Pune and would be implemented jointly with PMC and PMPML
• Three bus terminals to serve the previously built BRT corridors
• Technical assistance and capacity building, including Transport planning and BRT service plan, fare structure and fare collection, assistance to build up the proposed BRT cell, capacity building and training for PCMC staff.

Apart from the main road infrastructure, a number of other services form part of the entire BRT system. This includes the following main components:

1. Rolling Stock,
2. Intelligent Transportation System,
3. Fare Collection System,
4. Bus stops and bus terminals.

Three BRT corridors (shown in red in Figure 1) have been proposed to eventually connect Pimpri Chinchwad with the BRT system which is being implemented in Pune.
