Abstract: Delhi is fastest growing megapolls, amongst four megapolitan cities of India. The population of Delhi was 9.3 million in 1991 and is expected to reach • 12.2 million mark by 2001 AD. Annual growth rate of registered motor vehicles in Delhi is around 9 percent. The estimated number of vehicles is 44 lakhs in 2001 AD, as compared to 20 lakhs present polulation. Transport demand in terms of total vehicular tripS is also on increase. All the factors mentioned above combined with some other factors have created a real mess on Delhi Roads. Transport related Environmental pollution and roads safety also present a grim scenario. In present study road network as well as rail network have been studied and analysed. Based upon study two corridors carrying large passenger volumes are identified, East -Rest corridor joins Punjabi Bagh to Tilak Bridge via Patel road, Sadhukawi Marg, Punchkuian road, C.P., R.O.Marg, Tilak Marg. While North-South Corridor joins Khyber pass to AIMS via ISBT, Walled city, Delhi Gate, Tilak Bridge, Tilak Marg, Shabjahan roads and Aurobindo Marg. Level of Service (LOS) at all important arterials in Delhi is very poor, particularly along E-14 and N-S, corridors LOS'D' and 'E' are being experienced. Analysis of ring railway data shows that it catres to almost no intra urban travel demand, despite its large passenger carrying capacity. , Transport system management schemes like road widening, intersection improvement, exclusive bus lanes, one way streets, preferential treatment of buses, along high volume corridors will be of great help. Riding volumes on ring railway service may be increased by provision of proper linkage between road network and rail network. However in long term rail based mass transportation system is inevitable for Delhi, along high volume corrridors. While for medium' volume corridors, system like IRT/High Capacity Bus System may be provided.
