  5. City Bus Services Management

  6. Changing Face of Delhi Bus System : Bus Clusters Private Stage Carriage - Bluelines • A few buses per owner • Fares set by Government • Fare box only source of revenue • Entire market risk borne by operator • Every reason to cut corners & recover costs ASAP Delhi Transport Corporation • State owned • Fares set by Government • Gets gap-funding from the Govt. • No ITS for performance monitoring DIMTS conceptualized the scheme of corporatization of private stage carriage buses. Under this scheme 657 bus routes of Delhi were grouped into 17 clusters. Each cluster serviced by both, Delhi Transport Corporation and a private operator.

  7. Bus Service – Key Parameters • A Transit Service that is • Integrated • Reliable • Safe • Economical

  8. ITS for Bus System: Mapping Stake Holders Is any of the bus over-speeding? Has there been any accident? Which bus should I take to reach my destination??? Are all the buses operating as per schedule? Are there any breakdowns? When is the bus coming??? Commuter Perspective Operations Perspective What is the bus schedule & route?? Where are the buses?? • Revenue earned • Per Bus • Per Route • By Conductor • Passenger Profiling? • Facilities for commuters • Transport facilities during festival seasons • Driver and conductor Appraisal Management Perspective • MIS Reports on • Fleet Usage • Violations • Incidents • Provided with Graphical and Chart formats of the above

  9. Bus Cluster Scheme – Key Features • Routes clustered (657 bus routes distributed into 17 Clusters) so as to leverage network synergies. • Public Operator (DTC) and Private Operator to share fleet 50 (DTC): 50 Private ratio • Currently Over 1650 Buses in 9 depots. • Conductor deployed by DIMTS is around 5000. • Schedules creation and Management – Schedules Over 18000 Key Facts Unified Time Table (UTT) • Public and Private operators will follow Unified Time Table to ensure timely and reliable bus service to public. • Resource contract • No transfer of revenue risk to bus owner • Revenue goes to a pool Contract Type – Gross Cost

  10. Changing face of Delhi Bus System : Bus Clusters • The Concessionaire ensures drivers are qualified and medically fit • Special training sessions organized for drivers with bus manufacturer, Traffic Police and through Driver Training Schools • Ticket collectors (conductors) are deployed by DIMTS • All conductors are well trained through rigorous training process. • Fare collection through Electronic Ticketing Machines to plug leakages

  11. Performance Regime – Structure of Penalties and Bonus Payment for basic service output In terms of volume of service provided Deduction for service not operated due to factors within operator control Non-Operated Mileage Elements at Risk proportional to kilometres not run or service standards below minimum specifications Cleanliness /Condition Penalty on per bus basis for category-wise infraction Basic Reliability Deduction for service failing to meet minimum performance standards Overall Performance Reward (incl. Punctuality) Payment for service exceeding minimum performance standards In the present operations in Delhi, the operator faces performance deduction or get incentive based on performance vis-à-vis benchmarks.

  12. ITS Components

  13. ITS Components • GPS based vehicle tracking • Tracking on GIS maps own @ 1:2000 scale • Route wise tracking and vehicle running information • Monitor out shedding and route deviation of the fleet. • Handheld ETM based ticketing • Passenger Information System • LED Boards at bus stops and other key locations • Integration with In-Bus Announcement System • Mobile based public transit application • Web interface for journey planning
