Chapter | Integrating Fares, Information, and Informal Transit

Amid looming climate concerns, engineering a shift to public transport is now imperative. India, where car ownership is yet to increase substantially beyond the large metros, can achieve a modal shift from private to public transport. Prioritising information and fare integration across transport modes can help achieve this shift without compromising user needs. The essay enumerates the types of fare integration and evaluates transport use in India, which is biased towards ‘informal’ or ‘popular’ modes, while the global focus is on formal modes. It concludes by charting a policy roadmap for a fast-urbanising India
to optimise public transport use.
