Abstract:

Bangalore, like many cities across India, is witnessing significant growth in mobility demand driven by rapid urbanization and growing incomes. This growth is straining an already burdened transportation system, resulting in many economic and environmental issues. As India’s fifth-largest and one of its fastest-growing cities, Bangalore is witnessing severe congestion and increased air pollution due in part to rising private vehicle use and a decrease in public transport ridership. Known as the most congested city in the world, Bangalore will need to develop and deploy shared, clean, and citizen-centric mobility solutions to ensure this demand is met in a sustainable manner that provides safe, accessible, and reliable transportation for citizens.
