| Abstract: |
Paratransit refers to a broad spectrum of privately owned vehicles that fill the gaps left by mass public transport. This includes mini-buses serving as metro feeders, auto-rickshaws, shared cabs, bike taxis, and on-demand aggregators. Globally, there is a growing adoption of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), which integrates multiple transit modes into a single digital interface for planning, booking, and payment. MaaS prioritises commuter convenience and system efficiency over legacy hierarchies and siloed services. Its success depends on clean technology, open-data systems, and digital payments. |
