• IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA, THE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IS

LIMITED AND POORLY MAINTAINED. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
PRIVATE VEHICLE OWNERSHIP BECAUSE OF INDIA’S GROWING ECONOMY AND
MAJOR ADVANCEMENTS IN VEHICLE AFFORDABILITY. THE DEMAND FOR
VEHICLE TRANSPORT IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE AVAILABLE ROAD
CAPACITY, RESULTING IN SEVERE CONGESTION WITH ITS DETRIMENTAL SOCIO-
ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. THIS NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR
SHIFT FROM PRIVATE VEHICLES TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
