What is NMT?
When you listen to the word traffic the first this that comes to your mind is vehicular traffic i.e car, motorcycle, bus, truck etc. but what if I tell you there is more to it, the internet signals travelling through a fibre optic cable, the movement of wind or the movement of sand particles, movement of products on a conveyor belt in a factory etc. all the elements that travel and cover any distance cause traffic.In this blog, I will be covering briefly one of the most unpopular branches namely Non-Motorised Transport (NMT). Non-motorized transport includes all the modes of transport that do not work on any sort of motor. some of the major NMT's are mentioned below
- By Walk
- Motorcycle
- Bicycle
- Wheel Chair (any support vehicle for the disables)
Why it is Important?
Owning a car is a dream of every man for some it is Mehran and for some, it is Lamborghini the point is no matter what socio-economic background a person belongs to, owning a car is a dream of every person. This individual dream has lead to a collective disaster in form of congestion, air pollution, and noise pollution. No matter how much supply you provide the demand will always outflow the supply.To put a leash on this rampant wolf introduction of regulated NMT is necessary.
This is exactly what the Enrique Peñalosa the mayor of Bogota did, by introducing NMT and expelling all the MT's but mass transit on the congested routes and set a model for the whole world to follow.
Being the trendsetter Envision Engineering is one of the very few consultancies in Pakistan to ever provide an NMT guideline that too for the leading and well-known medical institution.
