Cities matter. They are the engine of the global economy and are already home to more than half the world’s population. Passenger mobility in cities is now an important area of research in Decision Sciences and Analytics. For the urban passenger, the connectivity at the last mile with the dominant public transit system in a city has assumed critical significance. This paper aims to identify key issues related to adoption and usage of modern public transport systems in urban India. We see significant opportunities in building on from existing frameworks for solving well-known problems in shared mobility, to use a complementary approach and enhance sustainable multimodal passenger transport across urban geographies.
