Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metrobus

Idea and Motivation of the Project

Population Growth of The Capital

• The capital city of Pakistan “Islamabad” is the ninth largest city in the country. The population of the city has grown from 100,000 in 1951 to 1.30 million in 2012. Since its foundation, Islamabad has attracted people from all over Pakistan, making it one of the most cosmopolitan and urbanized cities of Pakistan and center of economic and service activities which attract people from all over the country

The system uses e-ticketing and Intelligent Transportation System. The system is managed by the Punjab Metrobus Authority (PMBA) with the IT section is being carried out with Punjab IT Board coordination .

Population Growth of Rawalpindi

• Adjacent to the Southern edge of Islamabad lies the city of Rawalpindi. t is situated in the North Eastern part of the Potohar Plateau in North Punjab. Being Headquarter of Rawalpindi Division and a close neighbor of the Federal Capital, Islamabad, the population of Rawalpindi City has rapidly increased over the years

Idea and Motivation cont…Traffic Burden on Murree Road

• Murree Road is one of the busiest and most preferred link between the twin cities due to its shorter length and direct approach. During the last few years there has been an unprecedented increase in vehicular traffic in the city, especially along Murree Road, resulting in severe traffic congestion on this route. This congestion causes excessive delays, environmental pollution and associated socio-economic problems for the daily commuters. Public transport is one of the major contributors in the traffic mix and the quality of service being provided is of poor standard.

Future Requirements of Islamabad-Rawalpindi Metropolitan Area

• The greater Islamabad – Rawalpindi Metropolitan Area is the third largest conurbation in Pakistan with a population of over 4.5 million inhabitants. The Twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are growing at a rate of more than 4 percent per anum, indicating a higher than national growth due to significant migration. With present growth trends it is expected that the population would increase to 7.0 million in twenty years’ time. Since both cities have grown into each other, significant amount of commuting takes place between the two cities.

Idea and Motivation cont…Requirement of Urban Bus Transport Service

• Currently private transport is the major means of mobility between two cities comprising of Mazda, Toyota Hiace, and Suzuki vans plying on various routes within and between the two cities. There is no organized urban bus transport service operating in the city and between cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Level of service offered by the minibuses is far below any acceptable standard. Traffic volumes of over 210,000 vehicles ply on three major corridors connecting both the cities carrying around 525,000 passengers. It is estimated that public transport demand of around 153,000 passengers is available on daily basis between the two cities. Interestingly this passenger demand is concentrated around a corridor which is of high density and strategically located to provide for reasonable patronage for a rapid transit system

Idea and Motivation cont…Joint decision by The Federal and Provisional Governments

• Based on studies conducted by Government of Punjab and Capital Development Authority, the two governments (Federal & Provincial) joined hands to launch a Metro Bus project to connect the twin cities and alleviate the traffic congestion on this corridor. In a meeting held in Lahore on 19thJanuary 2014, co-chaired by the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Chief Minister of Punjab, it was decided that the project shall be funded on 50:50 sharing basis by the Federal Government & Government of the Punjab. As the Punjab Government has already completed successfully a similar Metro Bus project in Lahore, Prime Minister of Pakistan decided that the Provincial Government will execute this project through Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) as the single executing agency for both parts of the project. It will work in close coordination with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) for the Islamabad Part of the project. Punjab Metrobus Authority (PMA) will control the operation & maintenance of the project after its completion. PMA will also coordinate with CDA at O&M stage of the projec

Structure of the Project Management Team

Project Management office (PMO)

• Organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of projects under its domain, For MBS the PMO office is in F-11 Islamabad. The office is involved in managing the overall operations and resource allocation.

Methodology adopted in the Project • The Metro Bus service Rawalpindi-Islamabad consists of approximately

23 km that starts from flash man hotel Rawalpindi and end at prime minster secretariat Islamabad. The project has been divided into two parts i-e

• • Rawalpindi

• • Islamabad

• The Rawalpindi part is further divided into three packages i-e

• • Package I (Flash man Hotel to committee chowk)

• • Package II (Committee Chowk to sixth road)

• • Package III (Sixth road to IJP road Rawalpindi)

• The Islamabad Corridor of MBS starts from end of Faizabad interchange at IJP Road at this point. It runs in between at-grade and takes right turn on 9th Avenue. Along Ninth Avenue (Islamabad) crosses Kashmir Highway and turns to Jinnah Avenue and ends at Civil Secretariat. The total length of MBS Islamabad will be 13.6 km. The Islamabad part has been further divided into five packages

•• Package I: Faizabad to Peshawar Modr 4.4 km

• Package II: Interchange Peshawar Modr 1.1 km

• Package III: Peshawar Modr to Centaurus 2.9 km

• Package IV: Centaurus to Shaheed-e-Millat 3.1 km

• Package V: Shaheed-e-Millat to Secretariat 2.156 km

Methodology cont…

• • Meetings and discussions were held among the members of the EIA consulting team, design engineers and proponent. This activity was aimed at achieving a common ground of understanding of various issues of the study.

• • Planning was carried out to assess data requirements and their sources; time schedules and responsibilities for their collection; logistics and facilitation needs for the execution of the data acquisition plan.

• • Primary and secondary data were gathered through observations during the field survey, environmental monitoring in the field, concerned departments and published materials to establish baseline profile for physical, biological and socio-economic environmental conditions.

Methodology cont…

• • The impacts of the project on the physical, biological and socio-economic environment prevalent in the project area were visualized at the design, construction and operational phases.

• • The adequate mitigation measures and implementation mechanisms were proposed so that the proponent could incorporate them beforehand in the design phase.

Was the Project Successful or Not?

• Project delayed for 6 months due to different resons but overall it was a successful project
