It may not be out of place to<br />
mention that since the<br />
invention of the wheel,<br />
transportation has been the<br />
integral part of development<br />
and progress. The uncertainty<br />
about MRTS, which had<br />
plagued the importance of<br />
such systems in India, seems to<br />
be resolving. The shortcomings<br />
of Kolkata <strong>Metro</strong> which was<br />
designed without a rule book<br />
followed by Delhi metro being<br />
designed on International<br />
norms has guided the<br />
respective agencies to follow<br />
and adopt a set of techniques<br />
for the construction,<br />
implementation and operation<br />
of MRTS in India. The National<br />
Mass Transit and Training<br />
Research Institute (NMTTRI) in<br />
Mumbai (established by<br />
Mumbai <strong>Metro</strong>politan<br />
Regional Development<br />
Authority, MMRDA), is one of<br />
its kinds in Asia imparting<br />
training and research on mass<br />
transit systems. The annual<br />
training courses cater to key<br />
issues like Public Transport<br />
Security, Safety and<br />
Emergency/Disaster<br />
Management, Noise Pollution<br />
& Abatement Measures for<br />
Urban Transportation,<br />
Integrated Ticketing, and<br />

and Intelligent Transportation<br />
System. We may have one such<br />
institute in Jammu and<br />
Kashmir State, as well.<br />
Conclusively we can say that<br />
the design and planning of<br />
cities cannot alienate the<br />
importance of an infrastructure<br />
in place for the entity called<br />
MRTS. A multi-modal<br />
transportation system would<br />
ensure the use of MRTS to its<br />
best potential. MRT – Smart<br />
Transportation will be the<br />
backbone of a Vital Project to<br />
transform Jammu and Srinagar<br />
Cities to Smart City & will<br />
create large scale employment<br />
both during the Project<br />
Execution & the Project<br />
Operation phase after the Go-<br />
Live and bring in Investment<br />
of more than 40,000 Crore to<br />
the State.<br />
