TEN SystemsCatchment Area*
• Area and population from which a city or individual service attracts visitors/customers. – a school catchment area - the geographic area from
which students are eligible to attend a local school– the area within which an organisation, company or
institution provides its services.• “Metro catchment area” is defined as area where
its service is “accessible” that optimally fulfils individual as well as system requirements.

Need for Integrated Feeder SystemTEN Systems
• Ridership for Delhi Metro is much below capacity, which is a worry particularly for a capital intensive system in a poor country
• At the same time, commuters staying further than 500 metres face enormous difficulty to reach Metro Station
• Frequent stoppages (less than 1 km. between stations on average) lead to longer travel times that weighs against choice of Metro for many commuters
• Many of the stations are already facing parking congestion – Average access time including travel, waiting time or
parking time 15-20 minutes• Noise and air pollution in station area is
unchecked
Level 1: Metro Plus
TEN Systems
Level 1: Metro Plus• Access Control Zone of 3 km corridor on either side
where only light, CNG/ electric rickshaws and bicycles called Neighborhood Vehicles are allowed
Access time between 5-15 minutesRevenue potential from higher commercial value of surrounding areas as it enables greater footfalls
• Seamless integration of feeder service enables spacing of Metro Stations to at least 2 kms.
Enables passenger carrying capacity to be increased by 100-200% - more trips per hourReduces travel timeIncreases frequency of serviceShifts short distance travel from Metro to NVs
• Provision of high capacity bicycle rack facility and service bay for pick up and drop of passengers in the station area
Improves accessibility for larger number of people

Gram Swaraj Rediscovered - I• Every village should be its own republic,
"independent of its neighbors for its own vital wants and yet interdependent for many others in which dependence is necessary,"
• In this view each village should be basically self-reliant, making provision for all necessities of life - food, clothing, clean water, sanitation, housing, education and so on, including government and self-defence, and all socially useful amenities required by a community.
TEN Systems
Gram Swaraj Rediscovered - II• Full independence would mean that every
village would be a republic with full powers. These were revolutionary ideas.
• Unfortunately…even long after India attained independence, it remained only a theoretical proposition.
• But it contains in it a great truth, which will have to be recognized in the future economic development of India.
TEN SystemsThe Road to Gram Swaraj
• Every village has infrastructure for bicycle servicing, electric vehicle charging, CNG vehicle fueling and parking bays.
• Elevated Cross-over create seamless traffic conditions on express roads and a region-wide grid of connected walking and cycling tracks.
Urban/Rural Village
Livable Neighborhoods or “Parking Lots”
Point to Ponder
Can I walk and run and bicycle outside on “my streets”?Why is mummy so scared
when I want to play outside like “others” on TV?
TEN Systems
TEN SystemsPeople-friendly Streets
• People-friendly livable, neighborhoods do not require capital expenses
• They can generate large numbers of sustainable livelihood opportunities
• They require policy intervention that are objective, sensible and committed

Pedal Power
The bicycle is the world's cleanest, healthiest, most economical and most efficient form of transport, and (How can we) increase its integration into the economies and lifestyles of countries across the world?

* TEN Systems Concept
Can this meet 60% of our travel needs?
• Most of the UK’s major cities have gone rickshaw crazy, so could we see this elegant three-wheeler on our streets any time soon?
• Yamaha’s new streamlined and sophisticated electric rickshaw.
• It’s been designed and created for use at the 2005 Japan World Expo, where taxis are off-limits.
• Those sleek curved lines and transparent roof give it a much fresher and more stylish look than the rust buckets currently doing the rounds on our city streets.
• Plus, the assistance of an electric motor means less effort for the driver, and in turn a more pleasant ride for the passengers.

The Bigger PictureDoes Pragati-MobilityXS call for too radical a change in our travel habits ?
Doesn’t everyone love their private vehicles?
Why should India care about global warming and its dire consequences?
Will Indians ever like to ride bicycles?
Automobile Dependency –Not a Natural Choice TEN Systems
Current urban design spreads car dependency “even in India”Not charging the “full cost” of private vehicle usage is a “blatantly regressive form of subsidy”Tax exemptions, cheap loans and unchecked evasion oil unnecessary purchase and use of private vehiclesIt is stoked by incessant and occasionally misleading advertisements – status symbol, autophilic behavior etc.
Lack of choice forces people at middle – lower income levels to spend disproportionately high share of household income on automobile

Drop-dead Consumerism
“Our enormously productive economy ...demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption ... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”
- Victor Lebow, Journal of Retailing, 1955

Why is The World Sitting Up?
• Nonprofit, non-partisan Civil Society Institute released a survey that found 83 percent of Americans wanted more leadership from the federal government to reduce the pollution linked to global warming.
• Human-fuelled global warming has reached a "tipping point,”...the effects of climate change were so severe they should spur urgent action to prevent more damage and to combat damage that has already occurred. – David Jhirad, Washington-based World Resources
Institute.

Poverty and Emissions – The Myth
• The Indian government is particularly cynical in this regard. It champions Kyoto and more, but makes no commitment to emission cuts.
• Environment Minister A. Raja on December 13, 2005:"India as a developing country - with [a] large
number of people living in poverty - cannot give a firm commitment to reduce GHG emissions."
– “Daring to look beyond Kyoto” Praful Bidwai, Frontline, Dec. 31 - Jan 13, 2006
Poverty and Emissions – The Reality
• "The good news is that a host of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other clean technologies are available to reduce heat-trapping-gas emissions substantially without impeding economic growth. These technologies often produce net savings to consumers, when compared to continued reliance on inefficient, polluting technologies. As a statement released in February by over 2,000 US economists put it, "Sound economic analysis shows that there are policy options that would slow climate change without harming American living standards, and these measures may in fact improve US productivity in the longer run."

New Urbanism
“…Physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
