Nishant Nathani, Prof. S K Gupta, Prof. Sangeeta Bagga Mehta

Abstract :

Urban transport is dominated by people making many short trips, multiple times per day; public transport is a sub set of it. Public transport is a network of passenger vehicles, for use by the public, running on set routes, usually at set times and charging set fares. At present these short trips made by different modes are inconvenient for commuter in terms of time and money. Passenger has to pay for each trip/mode for that they need to stand in a long queue, leads to wastage of time. At the same time the transport modes are not synchronized, it further adds to waiting time of commuter. Seamless transport comprises passenger transportation services which are available for use by the general public, as opposed to private and personalized modes or vehicles for hire, to make the travel hassle free. Generally, the fleet of vehicles and services are provided by a company, corporation or authority and the same is regulated and if necessary subsidized by them. The infrastructure used may be exclusive or shared with private and other vehicles. Delhi, India having population– 16,753,235 (2011 census of India) and daily average trip rate is 1.55 (all modes) has been studied for further understanding.
