Introduction Mobility of people is of paramount importance for economic growth, development and for empowering the poor. The state transport undertakings are in forefront to provide economic, comfortable, safe, reliable, efficient, environmentally sustainable, and passenger friendly transport system to people. Almost every village and every habitation in Tamil Nadu is connected by buses providing transport facilities to as many as 2.04 crore commuters on a daily basis. In the cities too, buses provide mobility to a large number of people for their daily requirements. In Chennai alone 52 lakh passengers travel in the MTC buses every day. It has been the endeavour of this Government to provide state-of-the-art bus services
3 2 3 to the people which are also affordable. In order to cater to the needs of different economic segments, in addition to the ordinary buses, a variety of luxury cum comfort buses like Volvo, Air Conditioned, Ultra Deluxe, Super Deluxe and Semi-low floor buses are being operated. The SLF Buses have facilities of automatic door closure, LED route boards and air suspension. Tamil Nadu has always been in forefront in implementing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). In a phased manner Global Positioning System (GPS), Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), Vehicle Tracking and Passenger Information System are being introduced. Electronic Ticketing Machines are gradually replacing traditional ticket vending. Fifty five On Line Ticket Reservation System (OTRS) centres have been established for advance reservation on long distance routes. We are at anvil of initiating e-ticketing and call centre facility to passengers. Simulators have been installed to provide training to drivers in safe driving skills. The STUs are constantly improving their performance in fuel efficiency, total revenue, occupancy ratio and reducing rate of accidents. Green fuel is being tested for introduction in the buses to reduce emission. In a long run it is planned to increase the share of public transport to 70% by reducing the dependency on privately owned vehicles. The Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA) has been constituted for facilitating seamless travel, inter modal mobility, preparation of City Transport Plan and ensuring growth of public transport. Presently seven State Transport Undertakings are functioning in Tamilnadu with their headquarters in Chennai, Villupuram, Madurai, Kumbakonam, Coimbatore and Salem. SETC with its headquarters in Chennai caters to long distance and inter-state travels. Transport Development Finance Corporation, Pallavan Transport Consultancy Services, Institute of Road Transport and Motor Vehicles Maintenance Department are also functioning under the control of Transport Department. Further Transport Department also
4 4 5 coordinates with Indian Railways, Civil Aviation and Postal Telecommunication Departments of Government of India for their projects in Tamil Nadu. There is a healthy competition between the State Transport Undertakings and best practices evolved by one of the State Transport Undertakings are soon adopted and incorporated by other Corporations. The State Transport Undertakings are flag bearers of modernisation and efficiency in the country and their performance is being commended by the Planning Commission of India and Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU), New Delhi. This was possible due to the constant guidance and financial support of the State Government. 2. State Transport Undertakings The transport operations were under the direct control of the Government till 1971, when they were brought under various Transport Corporations registered under the Companies Act, Thereafter, the Government appointed two Committees of Experts namely the Pattabiraman Committee in 1976 and the Thillainayagam Committee in 1990 to study in depth, the existing operations of the State Transport Undertakings and to suggest measures to improve them. The recommendations of these Expert Committees have been implemented wherever possible. 2.1 Bus Services As on the State Transport Undertakings are offering the following services: Chennai Metro City services 3057 Town Services (in Districts) 6406 Mofussil services 7723 Express services Inside State 555 Outside State 359 Ghat services 519 Total services Spare buses 1780 Total Fleet Strength 20399

The average age of fleet is now 4.5 years. Thus the overall fleet strength has grown by 3295 buses, the percentage of growth being in the last four years. The total fleet strength of all State Transport Undertakings of Tamil Nadu is the highest in the country. 2.3 Performance The State Transport Undertakings have been consistently bagging national awards in achieving the best physical parameters. The Union Planning Commission while reviewing the performance of Tamil Nadu State Transport Undertakings has commended as follows: With respect to the performance in terms of Physical indicators, all the Undertakings of Tamilnadu State are performing well. In fact they are one of the best amongst the various State Road Transport Undertakings in the country.

7 Financial Position of the State Transport Undertakings Despite good performance in the physical parameters, which have been appreciated by the Union Planning Commission, time and again, the financial conditions of the State Transport Undertakings have come under considerable pressure in the absence of revision of fare. Due to the increase in the establishment and operational costs and the fare per kilometre remaining unrevised for last eight years which being the lowest in the country, the overall expenditure of the STUs has increased. The loss for the year is Rs crore (pre-audit), as against Rs crore in Consumption of High Speed Diesel Oil and Lubricants There is considerable improvement in consumption of HSD and the KMPL of HSD oil consumed has improved from 5.13 during to 5.25 during The approximate savings on account of improvement in KMPL is around Rs crore.

HSD price has more than doubled since last revision of bus fare in the year Diesel cost for STUs accounts for 43 percent of the total revenue. The expenditure on consumption of diesel for the STUs was Rs crore in the year and Rs crore in the year Outstanding Liabilities Because of continuous loss, the State Transport Undertakings are facing the following

State Tamil Nadu Andhra Pradesh Kerala Karnataka Fare Effective from Mofussil (Ordy) Deluxe Super Deluxe Ultra Deluxe Aircondi oned The fare in Tamilnadu has not been revised since December 2001 in the interest of the travelling public, though the costs of Diesel and Establishment have increased substantially Road safety and prevention of accidents Road accidents had become a major cause for death and disability. In the State of Tamil Nadu due to rapid urbanization and exponential growth of vehicles there has been a steep raise in road accidents. The accident compensation commitment for the STUs has gone up drastically from Rs crore in the year to Rs crore in the year The Government is giving overriding importance to reduce the road accidents and the STUs in collaboration with traffic police, highways department and drivers training institutes are not leaving any stone unturned to prevent road accidents. The drivers are being sent for regular refresher training to upgrade their driving skills. Yoga classes and meditation camps are being organized to reduce their stress levels. Safety clinics, brain storming session and human resources development training are also being organized at regular intervals.

10 16 17 are doing surprise breath analysis test and to detect the cases of intoxication. The drivers involved in fatal and other major accidents are being provided with psychological guidance. In a phased manner the crew rest rooms and canteens are being upgraded with clean toilets and soothing environment so that the crew can get proper rest. The inputs given by IRT after analysing the accident data is being shared with State Highways and Police authorities so as to prevent accidents by improving roads, signage and traffic movement in accident prone area. To encourage safe driving, the STUs are providing special incentive to drivers with accident free record for 10 years and also reward the drivers under safe driving award scheme. In the year , a sum of Rs.2.78 crore has been released by the Government for the purpose of awarding medals and cash prizes to the drivers of State Transport Undertakings who have accidentfree record.
