New trams do give Kolkata a boost.. but I still feel that we need dedicated tram corridors.. thats the only way we can use the tram network to its maximum potential.. and then it shall be able to run at its best speed..

Anyone that posts anything unrelated to developments of the New Delhi transit system or are worded to revoke negative, unwanted discussion, will be instantly suspended from the forum.

Following the last related post, someone pointed out the similarity between the New Delhi Airport Express and Hong Kong's Airport Express. Here's what the Hong Kong one looks like:

Nice to see all the photos of Kolkata trams. Especially of the "modernised" ones, as it suggests that the system isn't on its last legs, as I've read so often.

Incidentally, can any Kolkatans give a list of the routes which are still running? The official website seems out of date on this.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this.

These seats are much nicer! I wonder if they made the DM seats the way they did for "Indian conditions" (for example in buses these kinds of seats get dirty fast), or they're going to upholster the DM seats before the line becomes functional (so what we see in the DM photos is just the skeleton of the seat). If it's for "Indian conditions", then they should really have upholstered and covered the seats with easily cleaned fabric, instead of the thin seats we see now!

I think it's better not to have cushioning in India...it would get dirty fast.

It's fare is about 7-8 times more than normal metro. It has city airport terminals at its central Delhi stations where baggage will be check in and loaded through automated systems. Passengers will get their baggage only after reaching their final destination once they hand over it to metro. Speed of the trains will be 135 km/hr compared to 80 km/hr for normal metro trains.

Thank you, that's the info I needed. We're planning on implementing an airport express in Sao Paulo with the same characteristics - high speed, higher fare but advance check-in.

The HK airport express seats are a little too plush, from personal experience. After sitting in a cramped seat for 14 hours across the Pacific, I'd prefer a firmer seat on the train. The integrated Octupus system is very nice though. When DEL T3 opens, I'll try out the airport express to see how it compares; it does look nicer from outside.

I always wonder why Sao Paolo has gone slow in metro construction even after starting quite early in 70s. It should have built 300 km of metro by now with further construction in future given its huge population and traffic.

That was the effect of Brazil's financial meltdown and hyperinflation in the 80s and 90s. Today it seems the city will start to catch up as you can see in the Sao Paulo thread.

A couple of videos showing construction on the Badarpur Metro Line as well as the Badarpur elevated highway. The progress on the sarita vihar - mohan cooperative estate stretch seems to be slow. Considering the heavy and chaotic traffic here, it is creditable that both projects will apparently meet their september end deadline!

Total length is 190 km (including the lines which are under construction and will finish this september). 44 km of that is underground, 5-7 km is on surface and rest all is elevated.

Current ridership is around 1.1 million per weekday with around 125 km of operational length.

Nice pics, but is does not seem too crowded. I

I think these pics are relatively old but you are right. It's not overcrowded like Mumbai although appearantly 100,000 people ride it every day.
Here's the description from the official website:

MMTS is the intra city train service in the city of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Used by more than 100,000 commuters a day, this prestigious service was started as a joint venture by the state of Andhra Pradesh and South Central Railways (SCR) in the month of August 2003. Covering more than 40 stations with around 84 services in the city, this service has been the heart of public transport system in the capital city of Andhra Pradesh. Each MMTS train is composed of General, Ladies, PH (Physically Handicapped), Vendor and First class of compartments serving needs of the various requirements/class of the people of this city. The MMTS service runs on high speed electric trains which makes the commute fast and efficient.


What are the plans for getting new and proper vehicles?

No plans. I think they'll just stay with these Indian Coach Factory rolling stocks. Believe it or not, these ones are among the more updated ones. But thankfully the Metro rails will be different.
Cool. Is this one of the more rich cities of India (with Mumbai and Bangalore?)?

Yes, after Bangalore, Hyderabad started sprawling because of it's IT connection. Many if not most Infotech companies have offices or Headquarters there.

Are there plans for a Phase II?

August 10th, 2010, 08:17 PM
^^Not yet since Phase 1 is slated for completion around 2014-2015.
But there will most likely be a plan for phase 2 released as construction for both corridors is in full swing.

Just to ask: what would be the difference then between the Metro and the MRTS?

No difference. But Chennai MRTS was built by Indian Railways. They built 19 km over a period of 25 years :P

Metro is a new rapid transit owned by State and Federal govt equally. They're planning to bring that MRTS under the new Metro system as well in about 3 years. :)

There are at least 8 more lines planned apart from the 2 in Phase I. Phase II details will come out probably in a year or two. You can check wikipedia for those planned lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Metro

I don;t know... all I know is it is a few hundred metres between the Sector-21 and the Sector 8 Blue Line station... and the concrete boundary walls are bearing the logo of DMRC .. the gaurd mumbled something when I asked him what it was- I could only understand 'Taj'...!!!

so... speculate or whatever, I am not saying that Taj Hotels is building one over here in collaboration with DMRC coz there's been no news... will try to get Info... meanwhle enjoy these mean pix of the building inside the DMRC premises... :)

I would like to apologize to the everyone in this forum for the previous post, but I was really getting sick of the Chinese trolls hijacking this thread.

He is a pro-China and self hating Indian. You need not bother about his comments. He is a well known troll.

Anyways, even if some Chinese person trolls here, we should not start criticizing China because that troll does not represents the whole country.

For the commonwealth games or by the commonwealth games ? Metro is not constructed for catering to sportspersons, it's for general masses :).

2 more lines (Violet line and Airport Express) will open in next 15 days, just before games.

Here are some Green Line videos. Have been looking high and low for some and finally found it today. :)

Standard guage metro train departing Inderlok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiVblfwwjtU)
Here you can see the train as it departs its eastern terminus, Inderlok station, which is the interchange for the line to the Red Line. Before it arrives, you can see a launch girder for a branch line to Kirti Nagar station on the Blue Line which is due this December.

Standard gauge metro at Inderlok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dVvYi2dboA)
In this video you get a glimpse of the interior of the standard gauge metro carriage.

Surajmal Stadium to Nangloi in standard gauge metro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g9TaizqwHI)
The journey between Surajmal Stadium and Nangloi. Announcements are made in Hindi (male announcer) and English (female announcer).

Standard gauge metro arriving at Mundka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_7E7GDdvaQ)
This is the line's western-most terminus and you can see a train arriving at the platform.

Why there is no screen door in delhi metro stations...?

Obviously due to cost. Most of the metros in world do not have this feature. However, the Airport Express line is fitted with screen doors. Metro is planning to install screen doors in interchange stations.

New trams do give Kolkata a boost.. but I still feel that we need dedicated tram corridors.. thats the only way we can use the tram network to its maximum potential.. and then it shall be able to run at its best speed..

Oh Debayan, We are in really bad luck. Current ruling parties has destroyed all reserved tram tracks except the maidan area. They are intertionally destroying Kolkata tram. New stocks are just gimmicks.

Ranjitbabu is crying like Crocodile.

Yes Ashis babu, I completely agree with you. But the Kolkata Tram is our heritage.. I personally feel it should be redeveloped to have dedicated corridors with modern air conditioned trams, and if such thing is not possible in the city, it must be developed in the immediate suburbs atleast.

I really like the interior design of the trains but it looks more like suburban train than a metro train. Will the Bangalore Metro have larger distance between stations. More like RER?

Interior pics are from Airport Express line of Delhi metro, hence this kind of seating.

Stations in Bangalore metro will be spaced apart normally as other metro systems (just over 1 km of average gap between stations).

Hi.:)
I traveled India in last January. I visited Mumbai, Aurangabad, Ahmedabad,
Delhi, Khajurajo and Agra by Trains.
At that time, I noticed that there are many variations of front-design on
EMU and MEMU fleets. Yes, full of varieties!
I took pictures of them all every time I found, and I'd like to share them.

the Mumbai EMUs;

Great looking trains, congradulations Mumbai.
It's great to see all the new monorail construction for true mass/rapid transit going on. Monorail seems to be getting the respect it deserves and as more systems get built in India, Brazil, China, S.Korea, Japan and other countries it's future is secure.

Keolis has been chosen by L&T Metro to operate and maintain the new Metro Rail in Hyderabad

L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (LTMRHL), the SPV of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the leading engineering and construction companies in India, has chosen Keolis to operate and maintain the new Metro in Hyderabad, India. This contract is initially for a period of 8 years (including 3 years of Consultancy and Pre operation phase) and can be extended for another 3 years.

This elevated metro will count 3 lines, 71 kilometres of tracks, 66 stations and 57 trains. The construction work for the entire network will be completed in 5 years in phased manner. The total network is expected to transport around 1.5 million passengers per day. The first section is expected to be commissioned within 3 years.

The Metro will be completely automatic using a state of the art signalling system. During the construction phase, the Group will act as a technical consultant for L&T Metro and assist them in reviewing the system’s design and give its perspective on vendor solutions for efficient operation.

"We are delighted that L&T Metro has decided to trust us. We have been working on this project for a long time to fully understand the local market’s needs and are happy that our expertise can benefit the population of Hyderabad", comments Bernard Tabary, International CEO. "This is an important step for Keolis, as it opens a new window of opportunities in Asia and strengthens our expertise across all modes of transport".
