Abstract

Most of the public is aware that use of public transport is better for environment and also cost beneficial. However, number of privately owned vehicles has been on continuous rise. Therefore, detailed benefits as well as setbacks of privately owned vehicle and PMPML buses are analyzed in order to study public opinion on preferred mode of local transport in the areas of PMC and PCMC. Public opinion about what steps and improvisations in PMPML would shift the demand towards public transit is also studied. Also, efforts already taken by PMPML in order to popularize public transit have been studied. A detailed study of the recently implemented BRT system has been done in this research paper.
