Detailed Description

While rapid transit solutions such as light rail, heavy rail, commuter rail, and bus rapid transit (BRT) are popular ways to increase a particular area’s transit network coverage, the fact that they stop only every mile on average to maintain a high average speed means that geographically most of an urban area will be beyond an easy walking distance to a station. The fact that many residences and businesses lay beyond an easy walking distance to a station is known as the “last mile problem”, and is a barrier to better utilization of a rapid transit network. This project is an attempt to comeup with a last mile people carrying solution for coutries leading commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland.
