[sustran] Re: FW: Looking for Transport issues for Academic Project

[kisan mehta]

Dear Rajesh,

Our Sustran Member  Alan forwarded your enquiry to Sustran 
and that is how we came to know about your interest.

Mumbai Urban Transport Project developed by various 
service agencies under the monitoring of Mumbai 
Metropolitan Region Development Authority has just 
been finalised.  The estimated cost is in the vicinity of Rs 
6,000 crores (Rs 60 billion)  The World Bank is considering 
giving a loan of Rs 4,000 to 4,500 crores.     

This is largish and highly involved.  We do not know whether 
it can be a good study for the First Year Student. We have 
basic info on the MUTP.  We could help you in studying it.  
This may require your staying and working in Mumbai for 
2 to 4 weeks.  You can either study the working of the 
BEST Undertaking, a municipalised agency providing 
electricty to 3.5 million conumers and 4.6 million bus 
journeys in Mumbai having a population of over 12 
million. Though the study of BEST is not that highly 
complicated,  one has to study from the scratch requiring
possibly 2 weeks stay.  Pls let us knowas to how we could
help you. 

Alan, Would  Transit-Prof at yahoogroups.com colleagues 
be interested in Mumbai's issues?

Best wishes.

Priya Salvi and Kisan Mehta
