Integration of Cycling with Public Transportation

Recent research by various agencies worldwide has proven that the transportation sector accounts for one-third of total CO2 emissions. It’s observed that motorized transit modes majorly contribute to this atmospheric pollution, especially short trips via these motorized vehicles. These short trips are highly inefficient and contribute disproportionately to emissions. Widespread use of motorized transit modes also causes traffic congestion and haphazard traffic growth, leading to air pollution, more greenhouse gas emissions, and long commuting times, causing human health degradation, environmental quality damage, and urban sustainability. These problems are faced by many cities in India and around the world and can be reduced by introducing measures that change the existing modal split and increase the share of cycling on daily trips. The present research focuses on integrating bicycle usage with public transportation in India. Bicycle-public bus intermodality is described in the case of various locations in Vadodara city where first-mile connectivity to the nearest bus stop is not provided by any transportation mode in particular, apart from privately owned vehicles. This research tries its best to build a base route model to promote intermodality and provide inferences and recommendations. Hence, cycling should be included in public transport systems to minimize disadvantages while increasing advantages. The increase in the use of cycling for daily trips depends significantly on an individual’s attitude toward cycling. Therefore, the government or private organizations should initiate appropriate policies, measures, and promotional programs to influence people’s attitudes. The methods proposed in this work are worthwhile, and the integration of cycling with public transportation modes is practical.
