Author

Sustainable Transport - Share Autos

Author

Motorised paratransit such as autorickshaws and share auto-rickshaws are popular across India. They are perfect for short-distance commutes and reaching major public transits. They are fast, easy and plentiful. Regularising this sector by providing route maps, pick up/drop off points and parking spaces, will fully tap into the potential of these modes.
