Multan is the 3rd

largest city in the Province Punjab. It is located on National Highway (N-5) leading to

Bahawalpur and Muzaffargarh / Dera Ghazi Khan enroute to Karachi. The city lies east of Chenab

River, more or less in the geographic center of the country, at a distance of about 966 km from Karachi.

Punjab’s current population is approaching to 100 million, which is approximately 56% of the

country’s population. Five major cities of the province include Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad,

Rawalpindi and Multan. Under the devolved local government system, Multan has been declared a City

District, comprising of six Towns, each administered by a Town Municipal Administration (TMA).The

towns are further divided into a total of 129 union councils.

Multan has enormous intra city and intercity movement of passengers through conventional

transportation modes. The road network is sharing the major load, and is overburdened, thus causing

numerous problems to the residents of Multan.

The vehicles ownership in Multan district increased sharply by 277% between 2009 and 2014. Among

vehicle types, motorcycles are dominant in Multan with a share of 76% while passenger cars represent

only 15%. The number of motorized vehicles is 261 per 1,000 residents for year 2014.

10.1 Passenger Trips

In Multan, the transport demand amounts to 2.06 million daily person trips, as shown in table.

10.2 Passenger Trips by Mode

Table below shows the estimated mode share and trip making in Multan.

Table: Passenger Trips by Mode

GoPb realizes the importance of providing safe, efficient, comfortable, and affordable

Transport to the public and executing Multan Metrobus project. The GoPb intends to facilitate

the passengers of Multan Metrobus System and provide integrated transport system. The

physical, operation and fare integration aspect of integrated transportation system will be

catered for between Metrobus and feeder bus system. The feeder routes will be operated to

facilitate passengers of Metrobus System in an efficient, reliable and safe manner through

optimized route network and service based operation model. The service hours and frequency

of buses on Feeder Route Operation will integrate with the Metrobus operation. The passengers

in Multan using Metrobus system or feeder routes or both will use same Metrobus card as fare

media and save additional charges.

Feeder Bus System

This is the initial phase of procurement in which PMA has planned eleven (11) feeder routes

with a total route length of 68.53 Km's (Details as Annex-R). The number of routes, headway

of buses, and number of buses on routes are likely to be adjusted based on the actual

travel/ridership patterns recorded and generated from the Automated Fare Collection (AFC)

System. PMA will engage a separate service provider for provisioning of Automated Fare

Collection and Bus Scheduling System (AFC-BSS) system which will serve as a Management

Information System (MIS). The AFC-BSS will be coupled with necessary hardware and

software to authenticate entry/exit of passengers into Feeder buses, and to monitor adherence

to bus schedules. Each 8m long feeder bus will have one on-board validator for authentication

of entry/exit of passengers. Passengers will use one stored value rechargeable smart cards for

their journey in the Integrated Public Transport Network (IPTN) in Multan.

The Driver Console Unit installed on buses shall be used to track buses accurately and

reliably. The back-end system shall be able to produce MIS reports including but not limited

Annexure-P: Adjustment of the Rate Per Km for Feeder routes

There are two categories of plied kilometers as follows:-

I. Non Excess Kilometers = Kn = Kilometers Plied up to 164.38 Kilometers Per Bus Per Day

II. Excess Kilometers = Ke = Kilometers Plied exceeding 164.38 Km Per Bus Per Day

Similarly there are two categories of rates applicable to plied Kilometers as follows:-

I. Rate for Non Excess Kilometers = Rn = Bid Value (subject to adjustment if any)

II. Rate for Excess Kilometers = Re = (Bid Value x 0.6) (subject to adjustment if

any)

PAYMENTS

Payment for Non Excess Kilometers = Pn = Rn x Kn

Payments for Excess Kilometers = Pe = Re x Ke

Total Gross Monthly Payment (PKR) = PT = Pn + Pe

Non Excess and Excess Rate Adjustment

The relative weighting within the cost structure of the bid value is described in the table and

shall be used to calculate the variation of cost per Kilometer.

Calculation of adjustments is subjected to variation in base values, which for various

categories shall be taken as follows:-

o For adjustments in Fuel, base price considered shall be of the day of bid submission

o For adjustments in Lubricants, base value considered shall be of the month of bid

submission.

o For adjustments in Tires, Maintenance and Salaries, base values considered shall be

of the first complete calendar month after bid submission.

The adjustments in the rate per km will be subjected to subsequent variations in the base

values and procedures laid down in the coming sections.

The parameters established for calculating the cost basket are estimates and therefore, failure

to actually meet the same will not entitle any party to request adjustments in the calculation

procedure of tariffs nor in the economic compensation of any kind.

of 87

The Adjusted Bid Rate Rn for monthly payment of Non Excess Kilometers shall govern

irrespective of whether it is higher or lower than the original Bid Rate.
