1 Conference : Mandalay without traffic jam What urgent solutions for Mandalay s transportation system FASEP study Mandalay 15/06/15

2 SAFEGE mission and context SAFEGE mission: A contribution to the global plan focusing on public transport solutions 1. Context appraisal: urban and transport situation and trends 2. Proposition of draft urban and transport global strategy 3. Selection of a priority corridor and of a transport technology 4. Prefeasibility of the selected line 2

9 A central city UNDERSTANDING THE LAND, THE CITY MANDALAY A CENTER FOR Economy Administration Culture Transport Tourism Religion 9

10 North-South axis UNDERSTANDING THE LAND, THE CITY Mandalay: a linear urban area contained between the river and the hills The city is developed on a North-South axis along the Irrawaddy River 10

11 Population density 2014: population 1.4 million 2040: 2.5 in the Greater Mandalay? 4 million in a larger area? 11

12 Mandalay urban structure today Residential high density (> 10,000 pop./km²) Residential lower density (< 10,000 pop./km²) Present city center Industrial developments 12

23 Car and motorbikes ownership Source: Road Transport Administration Department August ,000 private vehicles : +30% passenger cars in Myanmar 7 cars for every 1,000 citizens (Vietnam: 14, Thailand: 270) 677,000 2-wheel vehicles in the city 450,000 motorcycles and 225,000 bicycles? Motorization and mobility Mobility estimates About 2 million daily trips 20% Urban trips per mode (estimates) 7.5% 2.5% Motorcycle Bicycle Car Urban bus 70% Potential evolutions 2040: about 4 million daily trips (walking excluded) Car ownership much higher What objectives for future public transport share? 23

24 Objectives for public transport share 30% 45% Objective for Mandalay? 60% 60% 25% 55% 17% 2% ~Mandalay today A reasonable objective for public transport share: 30% 1.2 million daily trips by public transport, 20 times more than today! A challenge! How to make it possible? 24

25 Solutions are multimodal Mass transit Ring roads Transit-oriented development Traffic management Coordination with trains and intercity buses Transport hubs Public transport improvement Traffic calming Regulated congestion Parking policy in the center Fares, information, comfort, institutional issues etc. Sustainable development Pedestrianfriendly environment 25

26 A multimodal strategy for Mandalay COHERENT ORGANIZATION OF THE MOBILITY Multimodal concept Main road network Mass transit level 1 Mass transit level 2 A mass transit network with 2 levels No through-traffic inside the city 26 Priority for public transport inside the ring road Access restrictions for cars and motorbikes in some central / strategic areas? 26

27 Contents Introduction A vision for the city A multimodal strategy Towards a mass transit master plan A first mass transit line to be studied 27

28 Mass transit level 1 for Mandalay Characteristics of a first level of mass transit for Mandalay: High-capacity system (> 15,000 passengers/hour/direction) Able to go out of the city Separated from other traffics (cars, motorcycles, buses, pedestrians): no level crossing But still well integrated in the city Opportunity of the railway system A railway network that covers the main corridors, both inside the city and towards Sagaing, Southern extensions etc. A relatively low number of trains, leaving large capacities to insert urban and suburban trains An infrastructure to be renewed, possibly with 3 or 4 rails to accommodate to different gauges (meter and standard) + electric power supply + new signaling system and of course new vehicles! Urban train concepts Many cities have developed railway systems that serve as a metro in the city and as a suburban train outside, sharing tracks with long distance and freight trains on some sections Generally only some of the trains go out of the city (e.g. 1 out of 3) because more transport capacity is needed inside the city These systems can be called metro, tram-train, light rail, regional express network etc. Sagaing Airport area Northern developments Old CBD New CBD Southern developments Path 28

29 Example of Porto Metro (Portugal) Use of existing railways Covered station In the city Open air station 29

30 URBAN AND SUBURBAN METRO Elevated section 30

31 Mass transit level 2 for Mandalay Characteristics of a second level of mass transit for Mandalay: An intermediate level between the metro and the bus network Capacity of 3000~5000 passengers/hour/direction Easy integration in the main arterials (~70 ft / 22 m wide) Catchment areas complementary to the 1 st level Much lower cost than the metro Possibility of faster implementation than the metro Bus-based solutions Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or Bus with a High Level of Service (BHLS) concepts Bus-based solution but with fully different image and performances than usual bus lines Segregated site, qualitative vehicles, priority at junctions, stations with comfort / information / ticketing, street integration Station 31
