A Critical Review on Transitopia of Tomorrow as a Solution of the Transit System to Stimulate the Use of Public Transportation to Make Cities Liveable
摘要
Urbanization has caused cities to grow horizontally, leading to issues with urban sprawl, longer commutes, and a rise in the demand for private vehicles, all of which have a negative impact on the environment. Adding new mass rapid transit systems (MRTS), such as metro railways and bus rapid transit systems, has boosted public transportation in many cities in order to address issues and fill in gaps (BRTS) [1]. However, in order to create liveable, healthy, and intelligent cities, it is crucial to utilize these systems effectively. Urban transportation is a serious concern in today's megacities. The transportation network extended and evolved to cover the new urban fabrics and connect them to the rest of the city because of considerable urban expansion and population growth. It is quite challenging to achieve growth and development, especially in developing cities. Urban transportation is facing a new issue due to the ever-increasing population of urban regions. The difficulty with which these options can be used to meet the current requirements as well as the constraints on the options’ availability, space, and relationships with one another increase the complexity of the issue. The need for speedier communication, travel, and transportation is increasing quickly as the world gets smaller [2]. Technology both facilitates and offers answers for this process, functioning as both a catalyst and a supporter of it. Planners and engineers are interested in finding solutions for urban transportation, despite its complexity and difficulties. Public transit, or PT, is one such option that has shown promise in addressing the aforementioned issue. This paper explores the potential of TOD and IPT, as well as its viability in a developing country like India. This novel kind of urban transportation is thoroughly discussed in the paper, along with the transportation needs and potential use and solution for this technology to address them.
