Metrolink express for Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad

The Governing Body of Gujarat planned for rapid transit in the city by proposing the MetroLink Express Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA) also known as the Ahmedabad Metro. The contract for the four corridors of the system were awarded to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) which also manages the Delhi Metro.. Delhi Metro carried out a pre-feasibility survey in 2004-05. In 2003, when the project was conceived, its cost was worked out at Rs 4,500 crore.

The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd) has already done its techno-feasibility study and submitted its report. Gujarat government has recently re-approached Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for a modified detailed project report (DRP) for a metro rail project in Ahmedabad.

Gandhinagar got its own city bus service in August 2009. The city bus service is operated by VTCOS. In the first phase of city based transportation service, a total of eleven buses running on compressed natural gas have been allotted. CNG auto-rickshaws and VTCOS CT-buses are available, maintained by Gandhinagar Notified Area (GNA). Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) buses provide transport in and outside the state.

Bus Rapid Transit System

Ahmedabad BRTS is the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) for the city of Ahmedabad. It is a highly ambitious rapid transport system developed by Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB), recognizing that Bus transport forms the most critical segment of the public transport system in the Gandhinagar city. GIDB has thereby entrusted the system design task to CEPT University. A part of first corridor connecting Pirana to R.T.O. was opened to public on October 14, 2009 by Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad have a combined population of 62 lakhs (6.2 million)., which is likely to be 11 million by the year 2035. This would lead to agglomeration of surrounding settlements like kalol and other smaller villages, which ultimately increases the area of the city, which may become 1,000 km2 in the year 2035. Moreover, about 1/3 of total as well as student population reside within walking distance from the proposed BRTS network. Thus, there is a growing need for greater accessibility to basic amenities and opportunities for mobility in the city. In such a state of rapid urbanization, it is very essential to have an efficient and rapid transit system, which will sustain and accelerate the growth of the city. In order to cater this future demand, the city and State Government has initiated a Plan for Integrated Public Transit System, in which BRTS is one of the components. This will facilitate the major mobility need of the people. In future, this system will get integrated with Gandhinagar Metro by the addition of two lines running through east to west and north to south.
