Abstract:

The urban mobility landscape in India is rapidly evolving. Population growth, rising income levels, increasing motorisation and changing preferences are among the factors driving change in how people move in a city. Monitoring and shaping urban mobility through periodic data collection and analysis is currently limited in India. In this study, the authors have captured through a primary survey, travel and commute characteristics as well as preferences and perceptions of 3,682 urban citizens. Diverse geographical zones and city tiers in India were also covered.
