The Skybus project was envisioned while looking at the pathetic road condition created by the metro infrastructure put in place on the wide roads which has caused enormous hardship and delays, traffic jams for the daily road users. The concept of metro as the solution to the city traffic jams as well as to handle large people movement from one area of the city to the other end seems very bright when looked upon from the surface level, whereas in reality people who owned the cars as well as the public transport bus system operated by the government will not evaporate overnight on the inauguration of metro.
The government may reduce a few number of buses in specific routes to accommodate the metro. Whereas private car owners under no circumstance would like to part with their personal cars, viewing this scenario traffic congestion in metro routes is not going to reduce substantially. Whereas installation and commissioning of metro has eroded road space by placing pillars along the road to run the metro overhead on the elevated platform. This concept of eroding road space will under all circumstances create narrow spaces on the important roads for car and bus utility. If the metro was put in place at least a decayed ago many city dwellers would have not gone in for purchase of personal four wheelers. With this in mind we thought about to build a system where the space erosion by a mask rapid transport system should provide extra road facility to improve the traffic condition as well as provide alternate transport system as metro.
This type of system has been successfully implemented in certain countries, where road has been added along with introduction of metro type transport system. These systems are called as Sky Bus or Air Bus in high density metro polis cities in advance South East Asian countries.
CONCLUSION
The Skybus is the technology breakthrough that India has achieved. Skybus is an improved railway technology, eliminating the problems of existing metro rail systems, like, derailments collisions, and capsizing crushing people. Old conventional railway men, who remained basically operating and maintenance experts, may take a little time to appreciate, but the fact remains. Skybus is an improved railway technology eliminating their fears of derailments and capsizing from which they suffered for decades!
Financially Skybus Metro makes urban transport a dream come true for administrators- virtually free gift to people without Government fund in
What needs to be done is to eliminate the doubting Thomas in our minds, and adopt the Skybus, if we want to really solve the urban transport crisis. The Sky Bus metro is one single technology which can change the face of our cities, take out almost 10 million road vehicles in the cities and make the cities livable, improving quality of life and attract and sustain economic activity to generate wealth.
