Murree Road is one of the busiest and most preferred link between the twin cities
due to its shorter length and direct approach. During the last few years there has
been an unprecedented increase in vehicular traffic in the city, especially along
Murree Road, resulting in severe traffic congestion on this route. This congestion
causes excessive delays, environmental pollution and associated socio-economic
problems for the daily commuters. Public transport is one of the major contributors
in the traffic mix and the quality of service being provided is of poor standard. The
greater Islamabad Rawalpindi Metropolitan Area is the third largest conurbation in
Pakistan with a population of over 4.5 million inhabitants. The Twin cities of
Islamabad and Rawalpindi are growing at a rate of more than 4 percent per anum,
indicating a higher than national growth due to significant migration. With present
growth trends it is expected that the population would increase to 7.0 million in
twenty years time. Since both cities have grown into each other, significant amount
of commuting takes place between the two cities.
Currently private transport is the major means of mobility between two cities
comprising of Mazda, Toyota Hiace, and Suzuki vans plying on various routes within
and between the two cities. There is no organized urban bus transport service
operating in the city and between cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Level of
service offered by the minibuses is far below any acceptable standard. Traffic
volumes of over 210,000 vehicles ply on three major corridors connecting both the
cities carrying around 525,000 passengers. It is estimated that public transport
demand of around 153,000 passengers is available on daily basis between the two
cities. Interestingly this passenger demand is concentrated around a corridor which
is of high density and strategically located to provide for reasonable patronage for a
rapid transit system.
BACKGROUND: -
Since the twin cities are hub of economic, political, and educational activities,
significant commuting takes place between the twin cities and adjoining areas.
Therefore, the existing public transport system requires a major uplift in level of
service and quality. In order to tackle this problem and provide improved quality of
public transport, Government of Punjab, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA)
decided to construct the Metro Bus System (MBS) in Islamabad.
Rawalpindi
Islamabad
The Islamabad Corridor of MBS starts from end of Faizabad interchange at IJP Road
at this point. It runs in between at-grade and takes right turn on 9th Avenue. Along
Ninth Avenue (Islamabad) crosses Kashmir Highway and turns to Jinnah Avenue and
ends at Civil Secretariat. The total length of MBS Islamabad will be 13.6 km. The
Islamabad part has been further divided into five packages

Background: -
The people of Twin cities travelling by public transport are passing through double
agony because despite getting high fares, the transporters do not finish their routes,
thus making the commuters pay extra fare for reaching their destinations by changing
two vehicles from Saddar to Pak Secretariat. Moreover, during peak hours, vehicles
are overloaded.
Therefore, the existing public transport system requires a major uplift in level of
service and quality. In order to tackle this problem and provide improved quality of
public transport, Government of Punjab, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA)
decided to construct the Metro Bus System (MBS) in Islamabad. The total length of
the route from Saddar to Pak Secretariat will be approximately 23 KM. The route will
consist of 24 Bus Stations, TEN bus stations will be established in Rawalpindi and
Fourteen in Islamabad. An 8.6 KM elevated track, consisting of 10 bus stops, would
be constructed from Flashmans Chowk in Saddar to Faizabad.From Faizabad it turns
towards Islamabad using IJP Road and enters Jinnah Avenue via 9th Avenue and
continues towards Pak Secretariat.
Market Viability: -
Since the twin cities are hub of economic, political, and educational activities,
significant commuting takes place between the twin cities and adjoining areas. The
need of such quality transport system is necessity.
Target Market: -

Introduction
Following is a list of the factors that could lead to a slippage in the schedule.
Project activities require more effort than planned;
Specific technical skills were assumed in the plan that is not available;
Weekly review of activity status and estimates to complete work packages. Each
current activity will be reviewed and an estimate to complete (ETC) it will be made.
The estimate to complete will be added to the effort already spent. A potential
slippage occurs when that total (EAC) exceeds the original estimate.
Weekly (or other) review of customer activities and performance. The response of
the customer team will be reviewed, particularly for current activities. A potential
slippage occurs when there are delays in responsiveness or customer decisions.
Weekly (or other) review of risks and changes to risks. The current status of risks
will be reviewed as described in the Risk Management Plan.
Weekly (or other) review of changes to scope, approved or otherwise The current
status of scope compliance will be reviewed as described in the Scope Management
Plan. A potential slippage occurs when unapproved scope changes are being carried
out.
Resolve the slippage the schedule slippage will be resolved by (adding resources,
authorizing overtime, engaging consultants). The effect of this approach will be to
increase costs.
