This document was created as part of my Final Year Design Dissertation for the academic year 2023-24. It encapsulates my year-long journey, beginning with research on the topic and culminating in the presentation of my final design outcome.
Abstract: Transportation is a fundamental human need alongside food, shelter, and clothing, signifying civilization and technological advancement. Urbanization has heightened the demand for public transport, especially in Mumbai, historically a hub for trade and migration. Suburban regions emerged due to better living conditions and affordable real estate. Public transport, including trains, buses, autos, and taxis, facilitates 80% of travel, bridging suburban and city centers. However, last-mile connectivity remains a challenge. Planning authorities propose infrastructure like monorails and metros, aiming to meet evolving needs. This research aims to analyze commuter challenges and system gaps, ultimately fostering accessibility and public transport usage.
