Public Transport Needs Of The Urban Poor in D A C Maunder Delhi, India Senior Scientific Officer Overseas Unit Transport & Road Research Laboratory United Kingdom SUMMARY Settlement of the low income community to distant city fringes has become an all. too frequent occurrence in the Third World at the present time. Yet this policy decision has far reaching and lasting implications for both the urban poor community and operators of public transport services. The paper discusses the transport implications of an enforced relocation settlement policy in Delhi, India where the travel demands of relocated low income communities are contrasted and compared with higher income groups. Effects of income and residential location on trip rates and travel patterns are highlighted. Basic modelling procedures suggest that travel demand (especially for public transport services)' could be considerably reduced by more prudent resettlement policies and land use development.

INTRODUCTION It has been estimated that by the year 2000 approximately 50 per cent of the world's population will be living in urban areas. over two thirds of this urban population will be living in cities of the Third World that presently experience great difficulty in feeding, housing and transporting the millions that already live there. The urban population explosion taking place in the Third World (and projected for the future) is the result of high birth rates, falling death rates, improved medical facilities and migration from rural areas. In India the present average annual urban growth rate of 3.8 per cent is more than twice that of rural areas. As the urban population increases, most of the additional population will be from the poorest sections of the community who will become an ever increas- ing proportion of the urban community. many who live as squatters on pavements, roadsides, river arnd railway banks etc are often moved out to the periphery of cities into resettlement areas. Similarly those migrating to the city mainly from rural areas are usually confined to similar locations. Public transport services then have to be provided at a cost that they can afford which generally leads to high levels of fare subsidies. By the relocation of low income groups to sites distant from the city centre, transport mobility and accessibility are reduced, travel times and distances increased and additional expenditure incur- red to meet basic travel needs (even when public transport fares are heavily subsidised) . This contrasts with life within the city centre as squatters in close walking proximity to most amenities and work places. It is unlikely that factors such as reduced mobility/accessibility of low income communities or the added burden of providing additional public transport services (in addition to other infrastructural services) are seriously considered by city administrators when relocating squatters to areas distant from the city centre. For example, during 1975/77 thousands of squatters/migrants living in the central areas of Delhi, India were moved to resettlement camps located between 15-30 kilometres from the city centre. As a consequence these low income communities became institutionalised and at present, 34 resettlement camps/colonies now contain over 1.5 million residents representing about 20 per cent of the total. population of the city. Gradually basic services such as water, sanitation, street lighting and domestic electricity have been supplied. Public transport services had to be provided immediatel~y in order to move the residents to and from the city centre giving the Del-hi Transport Corporation (DTC), who provide services throughout the city, considerable problems. This paper presents results of surveys conducted in Delhi, during 1979/82 into the travel patterns of different socio-economic groups and the way in which their'travel needs are provided. (1,2,3) The findings are used to determine how residential location, household income and both private and public transport provision affect trip rates, travel patterns and modal choice. Results of the surveys have been used to derive basic models so that both public transport 2 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder operators and planners have a clearer understanding of the travel needs and requirements of a cross section of the population of Delhi but particularly those of the low income community living considerable distances from the city centre. The general insights provided should be of interest to urban transport and land use planners and other professionals concerned with mobility, accessi- bility and planning in cities in the developing world. 2. SURVEY ARE~AS OF DELHI Delhi, with a population of 6.1 million, is one of the largest cities in India. It is the capital of India and the seat of government and is situated within the, northern plain beside the river Jainuna. Detailed home interviews were Conducted in Delhi in six different residen- tial areas or colonies; information was collected on trip rates, travel patterns and basic socio economic characteristics of the households. The six areas surveyed were two low income resettlement colonies, (Nand Nagri and Dakshin Puni), three upper-middle income colonies, (West Patel Nagar, Saket and Janak- puri) and one lower-middle income unauthorised colony, (Shakarpur). All six areas differ in terms of distance from the central area and household income of residents (see Table 1). In addition to these six areas, squatters located in and around the city centre were studied to extend the data base to include centrally located low-income housing groups.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT SUPPLY Transport services consist of conventional stage buses operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), taxis, auto and cycle rickshaws, horse drawn tongas, motorcycle 'phut phuts' and privately owned and operated charter buses. The DTC (a Central Government Undertaking) provides a network of bus services to all areas of the city. The privately operated transport services tend to be operated only to and from higher income residential area~s where there is suffi- cient demand for such services. This is shown in Table 2. In the two low income resettlement colonies only a few privately operated modes exist; these are cycle rickshaws, horsedrawn tongas and autorickshaws. In all four middle income colonies cycle rickshaws, autorickshaws, taxis and 2 3 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder TABLE 2 Privately operated public transport provision: all survey areas (ncome) Nand Dakshin Shakarpur Janakpuri West Patel Saket Nagri Puri Nagar Mode (low) (low) (lower (upper (upper (upper middle) middle) middle) middle) Autorickshaws -12 10 50 30 15 Cycle rickshaws few few 20 75-100 - few Tongas 50 few 10 few - - Taxis - -6 25 20 28 Charter buses -- 2-5 100+ 15-20 10 charter bus services are operated both within the colonies and to/from other locations in Delhi. Charter buses are contracted by groups of local residents to provide services to and from the central business area during peak travel times. Thus higher income communities appear to enjoy a higher level of priva- tely operated public transport provision. The DTC provides conventional stage bus services to all six colonies; Table 3 summarises the different levels of supply.

These two colonies have a comparatively high level of service provision compared with the other colonies because they are centrally located and sited along major travel corridors. In terms of conventional stage buses there does appear to be a relationship between distance from the central area and service provision ie less public transport as---distance from the central area increases. In addition, the number of actual buses operated does tend to be less to lower income colonies than to similarly located middle income colonies even though low income residents are likely to be more dependent on the bus service than middle income residents who have (as seen above) a wider and more varied choice of public transport. It is worth noting that the DTC revenue cost ratio has deteriorated rapidly over the total route network from 0.76:1 in 1979 to 0.39:1 in 1984. The ratio for the routes servicing the six study areas has similarly declined. The DTC incurs margina-lly heavier losses on routes to low income communities than to similarly located middle income residential areas. 4 D A C Maunder 4. SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSEHOLDS Household size varies little between the six colonies, the averages being between 4.4 and 5.4 persons. The average number of students per household ranges from zero for squatters (their life style does not encourage schooling) to 1.9 for Shakarpur households. The number of employed persons ranges from 1.4 in Saket, Dakshin Puni and Shakarpur households to 1.8 in squatter households. Appendix 1 shows the distribution of monthly household income observed in the sample of households interviewed. Household monthly incomes range from £18 in squatter households to £150 in upper middle income colonies. Over one third of squatter households had less than Rs 200 a month (£11.75) on which to exist and in other 1ow income colonies up to 6 per cent of households also existed on this amount of income. Household heads were asked to estimate how much -the household spent per month on transport. Figure 1 shows the distribution of reported transport expenditure (all modes) by income category for all six survey areas. At low incomes (less than Rs 600 and representing between 3 to 81 per cent of households interviewed in the four colonies of Nand Nagri, Shakarpur, Dakshin Puni and Saket) the level of expenditure is considerable, ranging between ?7-37 per cent of household income: the rate quickly declines, however, to around 5 to 15 per cent over the income range of Rs 600-4,000. In West Patel Nagar and Janakpuri a more even relationship is observed ranging from 17 per cent at low income levels to 8-10 per cent at incomes of Rs 4,000. Thus, in all areas above a certain income level tranpsort expenditures are broadly similar in percentage terms irrespective of household income, suggesting the existence of a constant or near-constant travel budget (once a threshold income of about Rs 600 is reached). Although relative transport expenditures are fairly similar over a wide income range the level of mobility and modal choice dif fer widely due to such factors as personal vehicle ownership, access to public transport service provision and level of trip making activity. Table 4 shows the level of personal vehicle ownership in each colony and the categorisation of households by actual vehicle owned (though some households obviously possess more than one vehicle or type of vehicle). TABLE 4 Household vehicle ownership levels (income) Nand Dakshin Shakarpur Janakpuri West Patel Saket Per- ~~Nagri Puni Nagar centage ~(low) (low) (lower (upper (upper (upper of house- middle) middle) middle) middle) holds owning any vehicle 29 62 59 62 59 77 cycle 28.5 59 49 34 30 18 motorcycle 0.5 2 18 38 35 51 car 1 3 5 6 29 In five of the survey areas over 50 per cent of households have some form of vehicle, but only 29 per cent of households in.Nand Nagri and less than 10 per cent of squatter households have a vehicle. Not surprisingly the type of vehicle owned varies substantially between different communities. For example, almost all personal vehicles owned by low income households are cycles, whereas 5 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder in Saket personal vehicles tend to be motorcycles and cars. This suggests a correlation between vehicle type, ownership and household income, with low in- come households being more likely to possess cycles and middle income house- holds a motorised vehicle. Figure 2 illustrates this relationship and curves having been generated by combining the vehicle ownership figures for each colony. 5. HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL DEMAND 5.1 Trip Rates Details of all trips undertaken daily by household members were obtained by personal interview, and trips were categorised into the following purposes: (i) educational, (ii) employment and (iii) 'other' including social/leisure trips and trips by housewives.* Figure 3 shows that the majority of trips in all areas were for employment and educational purposes, particularly in low in- come households. In higher income areas however, almost 20 per cent of trips were for 'other' activities, mainly social/leisure pursuits. The overall average daily trip rate per household in the six areas ranges from 5.1 to 8.5 with the trip rate for squatter households being 4.0. The trip rate per capita (see Figure 4) ranges from 1.0 in Nand Nagri to 1.6 in both Saket and Shakapur; the rate is 0.8 for squatter households. There is thus evidence that residents of low income colonies make fewer trips than those in middle income colonies. Furthermore, location also appears to have an effect on trip making, residents in colonies located at the periphery of the city tend- ing to make fewer trips than those (of similar income) living close to the city centre. Figure 5 illustrates the distribution of daily trip rate per capita by income category. In general the figure shows an upward trend in trip rates as household income increases. This income effect on trip making seems to be associated largely with increased educational and other activities in more affluent communities as shown in Figure 3. In order to determine further the effect of location on the level of trip making, trip rates were combined for residential colonies located similar dist- ances from the city centre. Thus a composite trip rate was obtained for each distance category by income and the results are shown in Figure 6. The combined 'far' locations of Nand Nagri and Janakpuri have considerably lower trip rates for given income levels ~than the more centralised locations. There is little difference observed between the 'near' and 'mid' locations except at the extremes of income level. Figure 6 implies that households in colonies more than 15 kilometres from the city centre are likely to have trip rates which are up to 30 per cent lower than those closer to the city centre. From Figure 6 it is possible to make some estimates of trip rate elasticities with respect to income. The shape of the curves in both Figures 5 and 6 suggest that the elasticity is likely to be higher for low income households in all six colonies than for higher income households. Table 5 shows estimated values of trip rate elasticities for three income groupings. *Note, housewives in India do not escort their children to school to any significant extent. This would not necessarily be the case in other parts of the developing world. 5 6 D~~~~~~ A C Maunder TABLE S Trip rate elasticities with respect to household income Residential locations Residential locations Income range less than 15 kms greater than 15 kms from the CBD from the CBD Rs 2,000. 0.19 negligible The values shown suggest that households near the CBD have very little suppres- sed demand and can make virtually all the trips they desire because of the wide modal choice (including walk) available to them. This is not the case in more distant colonies where only essential trips are made. 6. HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL PATTERNS 6.1 General observations The modal choice for all trip purposes in the six areasis shown in Table 6.

In all six areas the two dominant travel modes are DTC stage bus services and walk, both being particularly important in low and lower middle income areas. A considerabile proportion of journeys are undertaken on foot in all colonies particularly by students. In the three upper middle income colonies where special school bus services are common the walk mode is less significant. DTC bus services are used in the different colonies for approximately 25 to 50 per cent of all trips made, being the highest in the 'far' low income colony of Nand Nagri and the lowest in the middle distance locations of Saket and Dakshin Puni. Location is clearly a factor in modal choice and the bus (be it DTC or charter bus) is used most extensively by persons furthest from the centre. The more central locations rely less on bus services and more on walking and the use of personal modes. Although ownership of personal vehicles has an effect on 6 7 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder modal choice, location may have a stronger influence. Thus cycle ownership is reasonably high in Nand Nagri and yet the cycle is not used significantly presumably because trip distances are long whereas in Dakshin Puri which is located much more centrally, the cycle is used more often because trip distances are relatively short. Charter buses tend to be important as a travel mode only in Janakpuri; possibly the use of charter buses is low in more centralised locations because the benefits of the charter bus service are not so significant for relatively short travel distances. In Delhi the choice of mode is largely influenced by income and location. In order to establish more clearly the relationships involved, Figure 7 presents composite curves which distinguish between low and high income residents (as groups) for the journey to work. The Figure emphasises the limited choice avail- able to low income residents who travel long distances to work. It also demon- strates the importance of motorised personal vehicles to higher income groups and shows that lower income residents, in general, walk further than higher income residents. 7. CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION These studies have shown that both residential location and household in- come have an effect on travel characteristics such as trip rates, modal choice and transport expenditure. The effect of income on trip rate is, as might be expected, positive. 'Increasing income is associated with marginally higher trip making. The rate of increase in trip making with respect to income is dependent on location or distance of the household from the city centre; furthermore, trip making tends to decline with increasing distance from the city centre. There is a difference in trip making patterns between households with similar incomes at long and short distances from the city centre whereas there is little difference observed for households at short and medium distances. The provision of public transport (and hence access to it) is seemingly related to location and general income of the area; areas more distant from the centre are less well served than those close to the centre, though this must be qualified by the fact that higher income areas tend to attract better services, not least because private operators (of public transport) find profitable markets in these communities. Consequently the level of public transport service is inevitably correlated with the level of trip making. Modal choice is also significantly affected by income and residential location. As expected, higher incomes are associated with use of personal motorised vehicles and buses. Low incomes are associated more with use of DTC stage bus services, cycle and walking. Location clearly has an effect on choice in that long distance trips (for example over 15 kin) are unsuitable for cycling and walking. In this case the DTC bus service is virtually the only option left for low income travellers. For those with higher incomes making similar trips, other, more expensive options, like the charter bus, taxi and auto rickshaws are readily available. Household transport expenditure patterns for the various colonies show a marked consistency. Expressed as a percentage of household income, transport expenditures are high in all areas where the household income is less than Rs 600 per month. Beyond this level the expenditure on transport levels off to between 5 and 15 per cent of household income. This suggests the possibility of a constant transport expenditure budget over a wide income range once an initial threshold of Rs 600 is reached despite marked differences in trip rates, travel patterns, vehicle ownership etc. 7 8 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder * ~~It is evident that locational differences and to a lesser extent income Wdifferences have an important effect both on the relative level of travel demand and modal choice. The quantitative effects can be assessed using the survey findings by rudimentary modelling procedures. Though the models are basic they do illustrate the kind of analysis and forecasting of travel demand that can be achieved by the collection of household travel data. They also show how the results can be of practical use to transport and physical planners. For example, by studying the present travel patterns and demand in Nand Nagri and Dakshin Puni it is possible to estimate the likely effects on travel demand of locating low income people closer to the city centre. Estimates in mode choice of such a location change for the work journey are given in Table 7. There would undoub- tedly be a large shift to both walk and cycle modes through relocation (to a more central area) at the expense of trips by DTC bus services. TABLE 7 Effect on modal choice for the journey to work of locating low income residents closer to the city centre Actal ocaionMore central locationPecnthag Actua loction (hypothetical) Pecnthag Distance from centre 24 km 14 km - 42 Daily work trips, of 31,000 31,000 which by: DT bus 24,900 17,700 - 29 cycle 3,500 7,800 +123 walk 2,600 5,500 +112 The reduction in demand for DTC services would be even greater if average journey length is taken into account. Passenger kilometres travelled by DTC bus services would be reduced by 56 per cent whilst cycle and walk kilometres would increase by 44 and 200 per cent respectively. The effects of changes in land use, for example bringing employment oppor- tunities closer to a residential area located more than 20 km from the city centre,are likely to be similar to those described above. Thus dependence upon DTC bus services would decline considerably whilst use of walk and cycle modes would increase. The long-term effects of such land use changes on travel patterns would be considerable for not only would the modal choice differ but so too would the actual person/passenger km travelled. Changes in kilometrage travel- led by the modes are shown in Table 8. Total passenger kilometrage by DTC bus services would be reduced by an esti- mated 86 per cent whilst for both cycle and walk modes there would be significant increases. The DTC could adapt to such changes in travel demand by either reduc- ing their present service levels to such areas or by providing a better, perhaps more frequent service between residential areas and employment centres for the shorter route distances involved. It was shown that travel costs for the low income households (less than Rs 600 per month) are a heavy burden on the household budget and households with monthly incomes of only Rs 250 per month (representing up to 20 per cent of households in low income colonies and 50 per cent of squatter households) spend up to 37 per cent of income on travel and up to 70 per cent of disposable income for 'essential' travel for employment/education purposes. This is mainly under- taken by DTC bus services at heavily subsidised fares and yet transport expendi- ture *is still disproportionate for these people. The present policy of indirect subsidies in the form of non repayable loans to the DTC ensures that all passen- 8 9 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder TABLE 8 Effects of a change in land use on travel demand for the journey to work by residents of Nand Nagri Closer to Actual location employment centre Per cent change (hypothetical) Average distance from workplace 17 km 5 km - 70 Person/passenger kms (000) by.' DTC bus 453 65 - 86 cycle ~ 41 60 + 46 walk 4 20 +400 gers receive the same benefit rather than specific groups of the community. Even though the present flat fare system ensures that more centrally located residents pay a higher fare per km than long distance travellers, travel *costs are excessive and financial losses greater for the services to the distant low income communities. There is. therefore a need to redirect the policy of indir- ect subsidy so that it is more clearly seen to help those who have low incomes and are totally dependent on the DTC for their mobility needs. It would also help the DTC in requesting financial assistance and fare changes by identifying these routes/services that the DTC are obliged to provide as opposed to those that it would wish to provide taking market factors into consideration. The present subsidy could be redirected to all these routes/services servicing low income resettlement areas or by subsidising individuals who earn a minimum amount by means of concessionary travel passes (similar to those granted to students at the prbsent time). This would ensure that the low income community are provided with services that they can afford more easily and those on higher incomes pay the actual market cost (or as near as possible) in providing the service. Failing that, a dual type system could be operated, ie an inexpensive basic service provided for those that wish to travel in high density vehicles and a higher cost 'seating only' service to those that wish to travel in comfort and have the guarantee of a seat. Since the completion of the research the DTC have introduced such a system on many routes in Delhi. One of the main side-effects of the resettlement of squatters in Delhi has been to create a captive market for cheap public transport services which can provide high capacity over long journey distances (by urban standards). Many travellers have no choice of tranpsort, their low income and residential loca- tion restricting their modal choice to DTC bus services which are obliged as far as possible to satisfy their needs. The DTC incurs losses on all its routes though it is apparent :that losses tend to be greater on routes servicing low income area's. Despite the high level of demand generated at peak periods in some of these distant suburbs, the low fare structure imposed on the DTC by the central government and the heavy investment required to cope with the heavy demand and long trip lengths contribute substantially to this loss. Location is particularly important because proximity to the city centre brings modal choice ie DTC services, cycle or walking even to the low income groups. Clearly, transport demand could be managed to advantage by judicious resettlement policies and land use development. It is likely that planners throughout the Third World will continue to develop (as in Delhi) cheap peripheral land for low income residential location at the cost of having to provide and subs~idise a cheap mass transit system. However, before such planning decisions are taken and replicated throughout the developing world, the long term impli- 9 10 ~~~~~~D A C Maunder cations of such a policy need to be considered in the context of a continuing growth in urban population, city area, and demand for public transport in total. The results of the present study tend to suggest that other options need to be considered by planners to reduce the demand for public transport in total and by the low income in particular. For those members of the community with low incomes it is essential. 8.
