摘要

An efficient public transport system is a necessary condition for the efficient functioning of a city and more so in India where the cities are expanding at a rapid pace. However, the state of urban public transport today leaves much to be desired. This important sector has been attracting the attention of the government as well as researchers. The National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP-2006) and later on the National Transportation Development Policy Committee (NTDPC-2014) made several recommendations most of which were not implemented in letter and spirit. Development of metro systems in major cities has been a major development of the last decade. This has solved some problems but at the same time thrown up other challenges also. Analysed in this paper is the current status of urban transport in Indian cities and what needs to be done.
