NEW DELHI: India’s public transport system is not keeping pace with the auto boom, making commuters shun buses and trains and hop on to two-wheelers and cars. This has resulted in public transport’s share of passenger trips falling to an all-time low, and the situation is getting worse with every passing year.

Compared with a share of 60-80% of passenger trips across major Indian cities in 1994, the share of public transport is expected to reduce to 25-35% in 2018.

The culprit seems to be the city bus infrastructure as the number of buses has not increased during the last four years, while there has been a significant rise in the two- and four-wheeler populations, adding to the congestion on urban roads.

The last 10-15 years have seen rapid Metro construction work in cities such as Delhi, with Bengaluru, Mumbai, Jaipur and Lucknow also joining the map, although at a slower pace.
