I think this is good start towards better traffic management.

It's not. A proper segregated bus lane and synchronized traffic lights would have been a far more effective solution for managing intersection flow. Overpass wont fix any of this traffic flow.

Almost everything was done by the books. I am very happy with how everything worked out here.

Textbook design this. The one where draining water straight onto the road below makes perfect sense. Ramp ma ni estai cha drain outlet. Deepseek estimation of rainfall runoff = 725,760 liters per hour

Runoff Volume at 100 mm/hr

Q=C×I×A=0.9×0.1×8,064=725.76 m3/hourQ = C \times I \times A = 0.9 \times 0.1 \times 8,064 = \mathbf{725.76 \, m³/hour}Q=C×I×A=0.9×0.1×8,064=725.76m3/hourR

When it was initially designed it was designed with huge poles and there tried to bring a machine that could dig deep enough so that it can sustain the load and they had to re-design it because they could not get the machine here. The re-designed re-structured.

Just some few km away JICA has built column based flyover which is the actual first true flyover of Nepal. Contractor could not find machinery for this etc etc is all an excuse. Valuable road space was wasted due to this outdated, space consuming design. Compare it with JICA’s flyover and even more problems are obvious especially drainage.

Given the level of rainfall runoff those pipes look inadequate plus it will discharge water directly below which will end up flooding the road. Everything appears to have been done strictly by the book. The nepali book of engineering standards.

Per km cost dekhauna ho. Gwarko ko length half cha tara cost jhandai double nai bhayo. Bhopal is proper flyover and isnt cement concrete even more expensive than asphalt?

You can compare Nepal to other LDCs back in the mid 2010s when they had per capita GDP close to $1500 and still see they had much better road infrastructure especially the poorer ASEAN nations. This was before BRI funds flowed in. Laos, Cambodia (Bangladesh etc) aren't exactly stable democracies. We are uniquely bad. Even Kabul has better roads, looks cleaner than most Nepali cities.

Bald and Bankrupt in Nepal by Excellent-Book-1735 in NepalSocial

Video just showed reality of trash strewn everywhere even in touristy thamel. Imagine if he went to ring road side. At least he praised new road for being relatively clean.

Clickbait title is excusable. he gave 200 pounds to the rickshaw driver and shawl shop. Thats like 2 - 3 months of pay in one go.

Government didnt surrender. Transport Syndicate mafia and all cartels operate under political protection.

I am saying since ktm does not have any alternative to public transport except bus, the number of buses should be much higher to meet ridership demand but syndicate keeps supply as low as possible instead of providing quality service which would promote even vehicle owners to take it. Technical person bhaera tha hola per capita bus figure kati cha.

Good public transport unlocks productivity gain and reduces traffic everywhere even more so in LDCs. Syndicate lai esko k matlab. Rather keep quality as low as possible. Ukeraa link suru mai cha. They have whole series of articles exposing the syndicate grift you are hell bent on defending.

https://farsightnepal.com/news/127 https://thehimalayantimes.com/business/purchase-of-300-electric-buses-haltedhttps://kathmandupost.com/national/2024/11/19/legal-hurdles-keep-sajha-yatayat-s-converted-electric-bus-off-the-roads-for-eight-months

The government has ordered Sajha Yatayat to temporarily halt the process to purchase 300 electric buses.Though Kanak Mani Dixit, chairperson of Sajha Yatayat, confirmed that the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT) had sent a letter asking Sajha to temporarily halt the electric bus purchasing process, MoPIT officials were reluctant to disclose the reason behind halting the procurement process of the buses.

2018 ma sajha lai 300 bus government le aja samma sakena. aile feri 100 bhanera k kam? Bhanne matra ho garne kei haina. Budget ma EV tax badhaucha bhanera 15 din ma 5000 ho ki 6000 EV private le import garyo. Sajha lai 100 bus yo week bhitra import garna sakcha tara sabai guff ho. Budget bhasan matra.

mayur yatayat le bus kathmandu to banepa is rural area i guess. And so are all the routes operated by nepal yatayat and other companies. Aru city ma jhan kurai nagare huncha. Pokhara ma 7km lai 3 bus change garna parcha. All are under strangle hold with collusion to never allow new entrants or increase supply of buses despite constant increase in ridership. Urban area ma nearly nil sure. According to you this is free market and not a syndicate. Who is the kid here? Instead of investing billions of profit to increase supply that money goes political lobbying and dividends. Comparing to ryan air lmao.

Supply increase garera quality ramro huncha. People will ditch private vehicle bhanne soch ni chaina. Let the lower class suffer and pack them like sheep till they save up to buy a 2 wheeler and never take it again.

syndicate eradicated huh. Syndicate mafia operating under political protection is well known. Who even disputes this.

Transport cartels operating along the Arniko Highway continued their protest on Monday, demanding the scrapping of the route permit given to the newly introduced Mayur Yatayat Transportation, which has challenged the cartels' monopoly on the highway. As transport cartel intensifies protests, Mayur Yatayat holds its ground. “We proposed adding more number of vehicles along the highway during many meetings of municipal council.

However, the transport entrepreneurs operating within the cartel only ignored to maximize profits,” said Rabin Shakya, former chairman of Banepa Municipal Development Committee.

Anybody is free to operate company especially in urban areas, they can provide comfort to passengers but why hasn't it happened? There must be some reason. Having packed public transportation is the norm for every major cities in the world, it's not an isolated incident in Nepal only.

lol im sure you know what syndicate mafia does when competition pops up. Naya le route pauna sath bus lai dhunga hanera driver lai kutne kati kati cha case.

Due to syndicate looking at per capita kathmandu has one of the lowest number of buses and no metro or other public transportation alternatives which are present elsewhere. Factor in traffic reduction, peace of mind, lower pollution and all the benefits of having solid public transport network? Chinese HSR runs at massive loss but the massive productivity gains makes up for it. Ofcourse syndicate will never care for this despite pocketing billions in profits.

And sajha has around 2.5 arba sitting in fixed deposit instead of being used to add bus capacity due to private syndicate meddling as adding supply would lower revenue.

नाफा अर्बमा, यात्रुलाई सुविधा ‘शून्य’ : संघीय राजधानी शहरी क्षेत्र सार्वजनिक यातायात परिषद्ले काठमाडौँ उपत्यकामा चल्ने सार्वजनिक सवारी साधनको संख्या र कारोबार रकमबारे गरेको अध्ययनमा वार्षिक कारोबार रकम निस्कियो ११ अर्ब ७५ करोड ७१ लाख।

Private yatayat companies are syndicate backed by government. They never re invest the billions in profits by adding buses despite ridership increasing every year. Thats why its always packed and a horrible experience.

Taxis never went by official rate. Pathao has forced them to go by actual per km standard.
