ABSTRACT:
Transportation system consists of group activities as
well as entities interacting with each
other to achieve goal for transporting people and
goods from one place to another. So, this
system, hence has to meet the perceived social and
economic needs of the users. As these
needs change with change in time, the service from the
existing system becomes inadequate
to serve the public interest. The major negative
impact of the traffic problem is traffic
congestion. It becomes severe whenever demand exceeds
the capacity of transportation.
Introduction:
Several reasons justify the present condition of
public transportation in Kathmandu. People
residing on valley are choosing private means of
transportation over the public
transportation even it is the expensive means. People
are trading their cost for other aspects
like time, comfort, safety, which is not so assuring
in our present public transportation.
On studying the mentality of public upon the context
of traffic problem in the valley,
everyone has one answer and that is expansion and
improvement in fixed facilities. That does not answer the whole question.
Expansion is not always the answer even if it is that
is not the logically and economically the best answer.
Proper management of fixed
Facilities and flow entity and logical coordination
between them to have maximum output
are the answer.
Godawari to Budanilkantha road section is backbone for
the transportation system within
city as it touches the two districts namely Lalitpur
and Kathmandu. It also passes through
the business center namely Sundhara and Ratnapark. All
modes of transportation available
within valley have participation in this road section.
It incorporates from microbuses to
buses and three wheelers like tempos. To overcome the
unmanaged and congested public
transportation, we aimed to study for the proper
maintenance of the public transportation
system. Mass transit system with fast and reliable
system is necessary and BRT can be a
good
solution.
