There is limitation on increasing the Passenger Tariff Other Sources of Revenue Generation Efficiency Improvement Cost Cutting Popularizing Public Transport Operational Optimization Traffic and Transit Management Centers (TTMCs) BMTC is the first urban transport organization in the country to get JnNURM funding for a national pilot project for an innovative idea called TTMC. Construction of 10 Traffic and Transit Management centers was taken and all have been commissioned. TTMCs were taken up to; To Provide an integrated transportation facility with adequate facilities and amenities to cater to the requirements of all user groups. Smooth flow of all types of traffic to and from the terminal such that there is no congestion/disturbance caused to traffic along the main road. Minimum /no conflict between various traffic types-passengers, buses and private vehicles and to achieve minimum passenger and vehicle processing time. To encourage use of public transport and provide first-mile connectivity through provision of park and ride facilities.
Facilities at TTMCs Bus terminal Bus bays Platforms Seating & lighting Public conveniences Information systems Safety and security Bus maintenance depot Maintenance bays, Washing platform Bus parking Services and Utilities Fuel filling station Amenities for crew Passenger amenities Bangalore One centers Other citizen amenity centers ATMs Daily needs shopping Park and Ride facilities Before After Expenditure on these 10 TTMC is Rs. 425 Crore. Total built up area - 32.0 lakhs Sqft. Out of which 6.2 lakhs sft. is for Bus Terminus and Depot. 18.3 lakhs sft. for Passenger Amenities and office space. 7.5 lakhs sft. is for parking facility. 3715 four wheeler and 2800 two wheeler parking. Expected income from these 10 projects is Rs. 33 Crore per year. IRR for these TTMCs varies from 12% to 26%. BMTC has identified 35 more Traffic & Transit Management Centers (TTMCs) in and around Bangalore city. These will be developed through PPP.
Chartered/Dedicated Premium Pass Service BMTC is providing buses on chartered services on kilometre basis to companies/factories, schools and colleges. To minimize loss of revenue due to clandestine operation by private operators, Dedicated premium passes services was introduced for the Industrial / Company workers during the year 1998 with TWO buses. At present 572 trips are operated with 285 buses to Schools & Colleges and 1106 trips are operated with 504 buses to companies/factories. 308 number of buses operated to companies on Dedicated pass basis. Realizing average revenue of Rs.8.97Cr per month.

Do we need these many buses. Is bus network of BMTC is efficient.
Moving from the existing Destination Services model to an Integrated Services model (Direction Oriented model) Hosur Road Corridor Improvement Plan Existing Destination Services Model Bus services in Bangalore are based on the Direct Services model. Each locality is directly connected to destinations in the city centre with a dedicated route. Such system leads to inefficiency. As city expands and number of destinations increases, the number of routes increases exponentially. It results in a large degree of route redundancy. Long wait times on specific routes. High number of routes increases system complexity for users. Inability to match demand precisely to supply.

Feeder Buses Midi Buses Same height and Width as normal Bus 120-130 HP Engine 28-36 Seater 9.5 Meter Length Procurement Based on Life Cycle Cost At present the procurement of buses and other major items are done through the process based on e-tendering where the successful bidder is decided based on the lowest quoted rate. It is quite possible that a particular brand of bus has costed less initially but in the long run it consumes more diesel and other consumables like Engine oil, Gear Box oil, Fuel Filter, resulting in higher overall cost in the life cycle. This situation is practically happening in the present system. To avoid this kind of situation and from the point of view of having low cost in terms of life cycle, tender based on life cycle costing has been started in BMTC for two items namely bus chasis and tyres.
Procurement Based on Life Cycle Cost for Buses The Tenderers have to furnish complete data regarding, Changing period in Kms for: Engine Oil. Gear Box Oil. Rear Axle Oil. Coolant. Power steering. Fuel filter cum water separator. Fuel strainer. Projected life of the O.E. engine in Kms. Projected life of the O.E. Gear Box in Kms. Projected mileage of HSD in KMPL. Procurement Based on Life Cycle Cost for Buses Contd.. Life Cycle cost is based on consumption of Major Lubricants, Fuel line aggregates, O.E. Engine life & mileage of HSD (KMPL) for a running of 7.5 Lakhs Kms. Subsequent deductions will be made towards shortfall in guaranteed performance. Considering the data submitted by the Tenderers, cost on Major Lubricants, Fuel Line Aggregates, OE Engine and performance of HSD KMPL of the respective type of Chassis of the Tenderer will be evaluated. The total cost arrived for all the items indicated for life spanwill be added to the quoted rate by the bidder. The resulted cost will be the basis for deciding the L-1.

Life Cycle cost is based on life of new tyre, life of tyre after retreading and number of times retreading is possible (Retreading Factor). These figures are calculated based on the historical performance of different brand tyres in KSRTC and BMTC together. A = TOTAL COST = NEW TYRE COST + (RETREAD COST x NO. OF RETREADS). B = TOTAL MILEAGE = INTIAL TREAD MILEAGE + (RETREAD MILEAGE OF No. of processes). Cost per Km running = (A)/(B) L1 is decided based on least cost per Km running.

Streamlining the Process of Fitness Certificate Reducing the variation in the availability of vehicle is extremely important. It needs rigorous regime of vehicle maintenance. Earlier the vehicles were send for fitness certificate at workshop by Depot as per its convenience resulting in huge fluctuation in number of vehicles coming for fitness certificate to the workshop. Now an annual calendar has been finalised keeping in view the streamlining the process for all the depots. A very comprehensive annual plan. All depots have to follow this calendar.

Bus Cost Difference of Cost Type of Bus Average Cost (in Lakhs) with BS-IV (In Lakhs) BS-II 22.75 6 BS-III 24.25 4.5 BS-IV 28.75 These technological changes has happened mainly because of stringent emission norms, substantially adding to the cost of operation. However STUs have not received any support from Government to compensate these additional costs due to environmental norms. STUs are not even allowed to take this component in the tariff fixation. It is resulting in reducing the margin of operation drastically for BMTC. Low Earning Schedules Sl.
