The Government of India has proposed and constructed various mass rapid transit projects, such as metro rail and bus rapid transit system (BRTS) projects, under the purview of the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP), Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) and other such schemes. However, with less experience in these newly proposed and constructed systems, the projects are surrounded by controversies and doubts. Many questions have been raised regarding the decision-making process for selecting mass rapid transit systems (MRTS) modes. This study attempts to check these doubts and identify other issues associated with the decision-making process. Thus, the study’s objective is to identify and prioritize the issues associated with the decision-making process of selecting modes of public transport (MRTS) in India. The study uses the Delphi method and represents a successful application of the approach in urban transport planning. The study identifies 12 issues and their priority in the decision-making process of selecting a public transport (MRTS) mode. The study concludes that the prevailing situations in decision- making process in India contradict the guidelines suggested in NUTP.Keywords

The Indian cities are growing and urbanizing rapidly, resulting in vast urban sprawls. Hence, the mobility of people is increasing, pushing the Government to develop a sustainable transport system in these cities. To achieve this goal, the Government is encouraging and developing mass rapid transit systems (MRTS) in cities. However, the goals and objectives set by the policies and Government guidelines are not met through the ongoing development process. The experiences of MRTS have raised some questions for transport experts and decision-makers in the country. These are regarding the justification for selection of technology of MRTS, the process of selection, coverage throughout the city, and affordability and acceptance by different city resident groups. According to the experts, there is a need for proper analysis and justification for the selection of any technology. This study with the objective to understand the gaps in the process of selection of technology for MRTS and associated controversies, reviews the policies, guidelines and proposals for suitable MRTS in India. The study concludes that the transport planners and decision-makers have failed to formulate a knowledge centre, as suggested in NUTP 2006 and 2014. This has been the main hurdle transfer the knowledge and experience from city to city. Additionally, the Indian policies and guidelines have failed to provide any explicit criteria to select technology of MRTS in the decision-making process. The study therefore recommends to formulate an expert mechanism/system to transfer expertise and experience from one city to another.Keywords
