INTRODUCTION

One of the major problems faced by the Indian

urban cities is the problem of traffic congestion.
A big concern is how to speed up the traffic.
Putting more buses on the road will jam rod even
worse and pollute

the air.

SUBWAY
High cost
Long time to
built

LIGHT RAIL TRAIN

Reconstruction of
roads
Changes of
accidents

BUS RAPID TRANSIT

(BRT)
Takes more road
space
Pollution
Noise

NORMAL BUS
Noise
Pollution
Less capacity
Parking space

STRADDLE BUS

Huge elevated public bus

Straddle two road lines
Carry 1200 passenger
Allow smaller vehicles to pass under it
Taking no road space
Reduce traffic jams by 30%
Powered by municipal electricity or
solar power

STRADDLE BUS

This concept is introduce in China

which is the world`s Largest
polluter.4 types public transport
systems are used in china that are,
1.Subway
2.Light rail train
3.BRT
4.Normal bus

Next Generation Transit System

The model looks like a subway or light-rail train bestriding the
road The bus can reduce the traffic jams 20%-30%.
Powered by electricity and solar energy Reduced the traffic
jams by 20%-30%.
4-4.5M high with two levels passenger boat on the upper level
and 7 M in width while other vehicles lower than 2M can go

Next Generation Transit System

Cost is about 5.36 billion rupees to build the bus and a
40KM long path for it, approximately 7% of metro system.
Average speed is 40-50KM/HR carrying 1200-1400
passengers at a time without blocking other vehicles way.
Large windows are provided on the both lower sides so that
the illusion of car moving back, is not created.

STRADLLE BUS
TRANSIT
SYSTEM
Normal buses
have less
capacity.
BRTs take up
road spaces and
producing noise
and vibration.
Metro costs a lot
and takes a long
time to build.
Large parking
spaces are
required,

SYSTEM
Straddle bus have
higher capacity than
conventional one.
It saves road
spaces, efficient and
high in capacity.
It is cheaper and
construction takes
less time.
Large parking
spaces are not
required and can be

WHY IN INDIA?
India is 2nd largest in population
Because of high population density India`s
major cities facing traffic jams.30% of traffic
jams can be avoid by using straddle bus.
As a developing nation India facing air
pollution. Straddle bus can prevent 2640
tons of carbon emission that 40 buses emit
annually.
Fuel cost in India is high comparing with
other nations.860 tons of fuel can be save by
using straddle bus.

CONCLUSION

It runs above car and under

overpass, saves road space
It uses electric and solar power
reduces the air pollution.
It reduces up to 20-30% of traffic
jams.
It is safe, efficient and high capacity.
