Last-mile factor crucial for Metros: Survey
Hindustan Times
|July 18, 2023
Last-mile planning driven by the 'intuition' of local-level planners rather than by data; there is a lack of understanding of commuters' last-mile requirements: Survey
People who travel on the Metro on a daily basis, especially women, are averse to waiting for last-mile transportation, and modes of transit that have a frequency greater than 10 minutes are unlikely to be preferred, a survey of commuters released on Monday said.
The survey, conducted by WRI India and Toyota Mobility Foundation across commuters in Delhi, Bengaluru and Nagpur, and titled “Improving Metro Access in India”, also notes that women travel shorter last-mile distances than men, but tend to pay more for the same. The survey observes that the aversion to waiting makes some women choose more expensive, faster last-mile modes.
