I admire Arvind Kejriwals way of Involving People in Governance but there is no Substitute for ‘First Time Right’ in matters of Governance.
Before going to bus issue it important to Emphasize That Street Lights are Critical for Safety & Security of Residents – But BRPL area these days have no light 2-3 days in a week for entire night. SOME Stretches which have thick tree cover, woman not just Scared of DARKNESS, ATTACKERS & SNATCHERS but also STARY DOGS who are active at night – Women accounts for 70%-80% of human dog bite cases.
I switch on 12W LED lamp whenever there is no street light. If every home Switches on 5W LEDs in front & back lanes –would consume just 100-120 W daily average or 36 Units to 40 Units – Rs.180-200/Home Bill Annually. Assuming 1m Residential Consumers [@ 1 per building] Subscribe to this –Rs.18-20 Cr Cost To Delhi can have SECURE STREETS. Delhi Gov may provide FREE 2X5W LEDs to weaker sections – 0.5m x Rs.140 = Rs.7 Cr.
DISCOMS CHARGE Rs.400 Cr or MORE FOR PUBLIC LIGHING.
BRPL alone charged Rs.134.3 Cr for Public Lighting 2014-15 – NCT Rs.400 Cr.
LEDs will Ensure BRIGHTLY LIT STREETS Every Night & Save say Rs.200 Cr.
BONUS – NO AREA SHALL BE SHUT DOWN FOR STREET LIGHT REPAIR.
Premium Bus Service Idea Most Lunatic
1. Load Factor of both DTC and DMRC is 30% – Load Factor of Premium Buses
shall not be even 20% – Tickets will not be Cheaper Than UBER or OLA Cab.
2. Premium buses shall operate on main roads – where PUNCTUALITY matters
more than ADVANCE BOOKING – Refund for not boarding is a disadvantage.
3. Penalties are too STIFF – Terms Wild.
4. Most Security features are already in place by Uber or Ola cabs.
REMEDY: – FAST-LUXURY-SECURE PUBLIC TRANSPORT
@ 30% CAB FARE – BETTER THAN CAR EXPERIENCE
No Licensing & Parking Costs
R1. Capacity of Micro & Minibus Public Transport from 5 Seats to 20 PAX Seats, All AC Wagonar, INNOVA to TEMPO TRAVELER to provide Fast & Efficient Services –
R2. Picking up ‘Regular Passengers, Students, Employees’ from within 100 meters of residences and going though Insides of Colonies, First & Last Passenger & Women pickup from their homes itself – THIS IS THEIR BIGGEST SECURITY.
R3. 10% to 20% MICRO BUSES to be ALL WOMAN Operated By DP Trained Woman Drivers.
R4. Micro & Mini Buses for 6-21 Passengers either Diesel Cars Upto 2 yr old or CNG.
R5. CABIN & PINK ROOFTOP LIGHT to be ON when 1-2 Woman are travelling.
R6. DTC & DMRC to Offer INCENTIVES, like Increase in Fares to Round Figures but also allow Free Travel On Holidays to E-Card Holders.
R7. New Direct Lifts from GROUND to DELHI METRO Platform for Photo ID – Prepaid SMART I-CARDS With Photo for QUICK Entry & Exit.
R7. Integrate DMRC & DTC with Local E-Rickshaw Services.
R8. Convert STADARD Gauge AIRPORT LINE to BROAD GAUGE.
R9. Integrate RING RAILWAYS & Regional NCR Tracks with All Buses, & Metro Services and operate Air-conditioned Services.
R10. Micro- Mini Buses to have all Security & Application Based SECURITY & SERVICE Features.
