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 a falling share of public transport, which is estimated to drop to an all-time low this year.
Compared to a share of 60-80% of passenger trips across major Indian cities in 1994, the share of public transport is estimated to reduce to 25-35% in 2018.
