Metro rail projects are great examples of mass transport system. The main benefits addressed by mass transport are the mobility and freedom. The sustainability of mass transport has greater potential and major benefits occur through immediate means of helping the environment and conserving energy. In developing countries, like India, benefit through mass transit systems extend to urban poor with affordable fare structure when compared with costs incurred by private transportation on fuels, parking, congestion etc. Nagpur city is having huge number of two wheelers and use of public transport is very low. An effective public transport mode in the form of metro is expected to provide a fast, reliable, convenient and economical mode of transport to the Nagpur citizens and also the public commuting to Nagpur. It will also help in growth of the city and area as well. The work of metro phase 1 and 2 is already being carried out in Nagpur city and this project proposes an additional alignment for the same. This project includes detailed study of DPR, traffic survey, interviewing, analyzing road width, and station marking. The project work has been carried out in order to reduce traffic congestion along the proposed metro route. Reduction in traffic congestion will eventually result in decreased air pollution and accidents. Implementation of the project will also reduce petrol and diesel consumption.

Mass transport system, traffic congestion, air pollution, diesel consumption.
