Dr. Mehul G. Thakkar

Abstract :

Since the economic liberalization, development of infrastructure in India has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. Even with rising income power of the rapidly growing middle class of India, the numbers of private vehicles are also on the rise. But, Public Transport has still remained the primary and preferred mode of transport for most of the population, and India’s public transport systems are among the most heavily utilized in the world. Despite improvements, several aspects of transport are still riddled with problems. There are increasing concerns for managing the public transportation system effectively and efficiently, as it is turning out to be a ‘white elephant’ incurring huge losses year–by–year. This paper discusses the present scenario of public transportation system in India with special emphasis on road transport in general and passenger road transport in particular. It also highlights its problematic issues and remedial measures to ensure its smooth and efficient functioning.
