Urban mobility in India faces significant challenges, including inefficient public transit systems, extended travel times, and difficulties in seamlessly connecting different modes of transportation. To address these complex urban transportation issues, there is a pressing need to develop and evaluate multimodal public transportation systems. This study proposes a comprehensive methodology for assessing the travel time performance of multimodal transport systems in urban areas. The proposed methodology consists of three key steps: (1) Identification of critical travel time performance parameters, (2) Development of individual indices for these parameters, and (3) Evaluation of an overall Travel-Time Performance Index. This approach allows for a systematic assessment of access, in-vehicle, and egress travel times within a multimodal context. To demonstrate the application of this methodology, a case study was conducted in Bhopal, India. The study utilized a combination of survey data and analytical techniques, including Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to evaluate the city’s multimodal transport system performance. The results provide insights into the relative performance of different components of Bhopal’s multimodal transport system, highlighting areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. This methodology offers a valuable tool for transportation planners and policymakers to assess and enhance the efficiency of multimodal transport systems in Indian cities. By facilitating a comprehensive evaluation of travel time performance, this study contributes to the development of more efficient public transit systems, potentially leading to reduced congestion, improved air quality, and enhanced urban mobility. The proposed framework can be adapted and applied to other urban areas, supporting evidence-based decision-making in transportation planning and management.
