 STUDY BACKGROUND & NEED OF THE STUDY

• The Public transportation system does not only carry citizens from one
destination to another, but the transportation project plays an essential
role in promoting and developing urban growth.
Study Background

• Rapid Transit systems or Mega transportation projects are often related to

better accessibility and infrastructure facilities which have direct and
indirect benefits in the urban neighborhood.
• The direct transit user benefits such as Reducing travel time, reducing the
air and noise levels of the city, cost-efficient mode of transport, similarly
the indirect benefits such as an increase in land value, land use and built
form densification etc.
• The benefits of transportation investments get land-use changes or
readjustments over the longer term while these transportation
investments get benefited in real estate in the short term.
• This potential to provide social and economic benefits has become crucial
in the decision-making process of mega transport investment.
Need of the Study

• Accessibility benefits are achieved by improvement in public transport

incentive to development and thus the public transport projects should be
considered as an opportunity to develop the city.
• This research study tries to build a relation among the impact of proximate
land use and land value gains and the accessibility benefits of the Metro
system.
• The value appreciation varies from across station areas influenced by
various parameters. This study identifies the main key parameters that
influence the scale of increment in land values.

 BANGALORE METRO : INTRODUCTION

Namma Metro
• Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is the Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV) created in a joint venture by the Government of Karnataka and
Government of India, which is responsible for the implementation of the
Namma Metro project .
• Design and implementation of the Namma Metro Project was initially
envisioned in two phases. Phase 1 has a total of 46 stations along a total length
of 48.1 kms and was completed by 2017. It active routes are:
a. The Green Line (running North- South from Nagasandra to Silk Institute
stations) with 29 stations
b. The Purple Line (running East- West from Byappanahalli to Mysore Road
stations) with 17 stations.

Phase 1 + 2
BIEC – Anjanapura 40.01 km
Whitefield – Kengeri 34.3 km
RV road – Bommasandra 18.8 km
Gottigere – Nagawara 21.2 km
Phase 2 A
K.R. Puram – Silk board 17 km
