| 摘要： | Over a period of time, there has been a move to upgrade Tram Systems to Light Rail Transit (LRT) in many cities round the globe. Worldwide data reflects the scenario how LRT has gained popularity with time when it comes to medium capacity mass transit system. Successful upgradation of traditional tramcars to LRT has not only improved the transportation scenario of the cities but has also stood to reflect a healthy image of the cities. In India, no such research has been carried out to explore the possible methodology for upgradation of age old tramcars into LRT. The city of Kolkata with expanding Mass Rapid Transit Network and growing passenger demand, there is a need for modernization of its age old tram services. International examples clearly indicate the success story of upgradation of tramcars to LRT quantifying noticeable economic benefits to the society. This paper is an attempt to formulate a detailed methodology for upgradation of existing tramways considering aspect of system selection and examine various financial modelling frameworks to determine the implementation suitability, and also computation of the economic model for the proposals to determine net economic benefits to the society in the context of Kolkata's transportation system requirement. This will not only act as a catalyst for addressing the increasing demand in the near future, but will also cater towards a better image building of the dilapidated transit system i.e. traditional tramways to a modern LRT based transit system. Two routes were selected for implementing LRT on a pilot basis considering PHPDT (Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic), availability of Right of Way and other operational parameters. One greenfield corridor (Barrackpore-Baranagar of 12.4 km length) with estimated PHPDT of around 17500 in 2035, and an existing tram route connecting the CBD of the city with major commercial zone (Gariahat-Esplanade of 7.0 km length) with estimated PHPDT of around 20,500 in 2035 were identified. Both the routes have established connectivity with the MRT trunk line and have good potential for attracting feeder passengers to the trunk route. A detailed financial modelling framework was prepared based on popular PPP models like Build Operate Transfer (BOT) and Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to determine the financial feasibility of the proposals under an Institutional Organisational model to implement the same. |
