SYNOPSIS
This talk sets out the key issues facing promoters and designers of mass rapid transit systems (rail based) in highly populated urban environments with case histories from the various cities.
It reviews the planning and design parameters required to make these systems efficient to operate and maintain and how these demands are met by designers and builders in constructing such complex underground structures.
• It also examines how the requirements of safety of passengers are met and what affect this has on the station layouts.
