Accessibility to transit station in multi modal transport framework for Delhi

Abstract

Recently, Multi Modal Transit Station has been recognized as a symbol of ‘Urban Identity’ and ‘Urban Mobility’ in Delhi which integrates built environment with multiple modes and provides an important link to complete the journey. It is either as a single station or an interchange hub, accessed by human, mechanical and vehicular system. Hence, it is important that such transit station must meet minimal level of service and be a part of overall efforts to improve transit services for increasing rider ship. In this context, Multi Modal Oriented Design (M2OD) is used which defines neighborhood character in design and provides mobility friendly environment. It also encourages a mix of mobility options to cater needs of both present and future travel demands. Further, the role and responsibilities of transit operators, facilitators and users are crucial to extend better accessibility to transit station.
