Analysis of Urban Public Transportation Network in Hyderabad: Telangana

Abstract

Public transportation network plays vital role in catering the needs of traffic in urban areas. The improvement of public transportation network helps to reduce the traffic problems and increase in mobility of vehicles. Nowadays, urban peoples are mostly using private transportation vehicles like cars, bikes, autos etc. which leads in high traffic congestion, high fuel emissions and higher road user cost. To overcome this disadvantages, we have to update the urban public transportation network for the present traffic needs and to attract more people to use public transportation modes like bus, metro, urban rail etc., rather than using private vehicles like cars, bikes, autos. The aim of this paper is to study the present public transportation network in Hyderabad city and to propose some new lines to extend the present existing network using VISUM macro simulation software which helps in transportation planning to improve the existing network of city and also used GIS network software in this study.
