Abstract

Policymakers must recognise the intermediate public transport systems like autorickshaws and private buses which provide transport services where city bus and other mass transit systems cannot meet the dynamic demands of urban residents. Integrating these intermediate systems with various mass transit systems is essential to meet urban India's transport challenges.
