CYCLE
Project
Preparation
• Incorporate safety in planning,
preliminary design, final design,
operation and maintenance
Project
Implementation
• Ensure sustainability
Project Approval
Ensure that safety aspects
are implemented as designed
• Model TORs, concept papers,
components, etc
• Accounting for sociatal cost of road
trauma in feasibility studies
Check if safety is incorporated in
the project design
• Checklists

Phase I: 123 high risk sites - 225,538,794 BDT (USD
2,477,545).
Phase Ia: High risk corridor (300km), 17 routes
- 4,214,801,641 BDT (USD 52,685,021), May be reduced by
investment with Phase I



Phase II: 1,372 km of National Highway based on iRAP’s
assessment - USD 71,906,316 (table 22 of iRAP Report)
Phase III: The draft Investment Cost for remaining sections
of national / regional roads under RHD could be factored

The Project will improve quality of life along the
corridor i.e. the Airport – Tongi - Gazipur City
Corporation (GCC) area.
Efficient and sustainable Urban Transport System
(UTS), including a 20 kilometer Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) corridor.
Holistic solution for integrated urban mobility,
bearing a demonstration effect as no modern
mass-transit system exists in Bangladesh yet.

 Attracts new individuals and
groups to bicycle use
 Reduces need for individual
purchase of bicycles
 Acts as a feeder service for
public transport systems
 Reduces the spatial demands of
bicycle parking at home
 Helps create a node of urban
development around stations
 Encourages investment in bike
lanes and other infrastructure
 Improves city image and helps
attract tourism
First city in the world to
implement a bicycle
sharing system in
conjunction with a BRT
system
 Bicycle sharing system
represented only 4% of
the total cost of BRT
infrastructure
 Fare integration using
smart card technology
 35,000 registered users
 4.7 rides/bicycle/day
JFPR TA GRANT-$2 Mill.
To enhance the ADB-financed BRT initiative by delivering a
quality demonstration of a sustainable and replicable model of nonmotorized access to education, healthcare, and employment for the
poorest of the poor and especially for women and girls.

Pedicab development - Redesign the traditional rickshaw into a
modern pedicab
Bicycle distribution - Provide NMT vehicles, through bicycle
distribution, to the urban poor who cannot afford any form of
public transport;
Capacity-building – Deliver training and technical assistance to
the cycle rickshaw industry and low-income users of NMT;
Small business development – Assist in the formalization of local
business opportunities in the supply and maintenance of NMT
vehicles and in the provision of NMT services;
Bangladesh
In April 2013, ADB
brought together a
group of
international
rickshaw design
specialists to
develop a
modernized
rickshaw applicable
to countries in Asia
and the Pacific
The Challenge
Can we achieve this level of quality at an
affordable price for Asia and the Pacific?
1.
Low cost

Under $750 for NMT
version

Under $1,500 for electricassist version
2.
Efficient

Minimize effort and
caloric requirements of
driver
3.
Quality

Durable and lowmaintenance
4.
Modern

Aerodynamic shape
5.
Simplicity

Robust design for
developing-nation

Weight: under 50kg
Payload: 250 kg, 3 persons
+ luggage
Max. Speed: 25 km/h
Trip distance: ~ 3-10 km
Delta design
Width: 1 m
Length: under 2.6 m
Material: Aluminum Frame
Multiple speeds, power

devices, telematics
LCD device
Information, customer
feedback, advertising,
and revenue
Lighting system
Vehicle availability,
awareness publicity,
and safety
Driver telematics
Speed, battery level,
distance, routing, and
location
Design considerations
1. Clean lateral transfer
2. Seat “bucket”
3. Wheelchair storage
NMT vehicles are often
used as the only means
of transport, emergency
services, and supply
provision during floods
Design considerations
1. Floor height and
wheel size options
2. Protected enclosure
of components and
electronics
 Formal stations
 Dedicated rickshaw lanes / traffic
calming
 Toilet and locker facilities
Pleasant drivers,
professional
manner, uniforms,
fair and consistent
customer tariffs,
and safe driving
skills all can help
to change how the
public views cycle
rickshaws
Let us know if
your city would
like to work with
ADB to develop a
pedicab option
for sustainable
local mobility
