PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Technologies to

ease bus commute

While public transport buses have long been part of India’s landscape as an
inexpensive and inclusive mode of travel, it is now gathering momentum
as a sustainable, eco-friendly and technology driven component of India’s
urban and regional planning. The task of incorporating technology is not
easy. The buses are new but mega cities house mega population and

infrastructure is yet to catch up to take full advantage of advanced solutions
to cover the distance and that last mile. The many stakeholders involved in
the undertaking include the central and state governments, bus transport
agencies, bus manufacturers, hardware and software technology developers
and finally, the commuter. Trafficinfratech’s Rajashri Ramakrishnan spoke
to Industry Experts and Government authorities who shared a wide range of
views on bus transport solutions, challenges and innovations.
