Metro Management involves keeping an eye and coordinating on the operations of the urban rail rapid transit, comprising the subways and the light rail networks. A dynamic field that requires a substantial inheritance of various skills and knowledge base.
The whole transit system allows the residents to connect the hard to reach destinations with ease and seeks to dematerialize the congestion. Moreover, with the introduction of the metro, the lives of people have stabilised and improved by providing more economic activities to the less influential sections of the society.
Being in the early stages of the development, the Metro Management has witnessed a significant and substantial upscale in recent years. Focusing on a better part of the lives of the residents in Goa, the administration lays down a greater importance on the development of a coherent and a robust metro system.
The Metro Management Team in Goa has devised comprehensive plans and strategies for the establishment and the evolution of the metro networks. The ultimate aim and objective is to connect the major cities and the densely populated areas, simultaneously blocking the congestion of the roads and providing a more reliable mode of transportation. With the collaboration of the administration with the stakeholders, the future of the metro network in Goa looks fairly promising.
In recent times, a number of Tier 2 cities such as Jaipur, Patna, Surat and Indore have documented a tremendous 40% of the economic growth rate showcasing them as the perfect opportunity for the big firms; inspiring the state governments and the real estate developers to focus more on the innovative approaches of the Tier 2 cities due to its growth prospects, business opportunities and the improving infrastructure and the housing affordability.
While working on the formation of the Metro Networks in Goa, the obstacles that come with it cannot be ignored and compromised. Two of the major hindrances affecting the implementation and the expansion of the metro networks are the lack of funding and the difficulties in acquiring the land for the purpose. Also, the other challenges, at various stages, namely, the pre-development stage, the operations stage can be categorised into the political challenges, market and revenue challenges, legal as well as the operating challenges. However, the metro management team has been composing certain different ideologies and coming up with new innovative solutions with the authorities to make it a seamless process and experience.
For providing an extensive business model in front of the residents, the management of Goa seeks to research and inherit the principles, and has been conducting the extensive testing and analysis of the successful metro management systems worldwide. By analysing the successful strategies and studying the experiences of the other cities, the metro management team with the help and in accordance with the administration of Goa seeks to adopt and formulate unique and coherent strategies to develop a sustainable plan of action; implementation of which would result in the execution of a justifiable and a viable metro network and management in Goa.
While many other states have already established successful metro networks, Goa is on the verge and is working diligently and focusing on materialising and working on fulfilling their own dreams. With the implementation of the conscientious and effective planning, the efficient operational contraptions, innovative and extensive use of technology and the research from the successful and already established business models, the metro management team of Goa is on its way of achieving a comprehensive and a sustainable metro network.
