Abstract: The prospect of providing economical and convenient “last mile connectivity†(LMC), that is, from the trip ends to the point of accessing a public transport system, is an area of much neglect in Indian cities, including Delhi. The important questions that the project tries to address are: an assessment of comfort, time, space, cost, incurred in the LMC as a ratio of the total journey for rapid transportation system users; user preferences and alternatives available, for LMC; and in the end, whether lack of efficient LMC options is a decisive element in the commuter’s choice of secret modes and how it involves the overall efficiency of a public transit organization.
