Resume: The article basically explains how the travel demand in the Indian cities is met with the growing urbanization and income levels and the degraded infrastructure to support the low carbon modes. As a result, it is likely that the dependency on personal motorized vehicles will increase shortly.
What is more, there are also concerns related to the discrepancy in the use of low carbon modes of transport by society's different socio-economic groups. What is currently happening regarding the existing non-motorized transport and public transport users, is that these are people who do not have access or affordability to the personal motorized modes of transport.
Therefore, there is a need to address the wider challenge of development patterns and infrastructure providers to effectively reduce the increasing travel demand and meet the travel demand.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely to push the existing public and the sustainable mobility goals will be affected.
