For all these reasons, last-mile connectivity has attracted the attention of city planners. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) runs 200 feeder buses on 40 routes which ferry people to the nearest metro station. Bike-sharing has emerged as a popular and effective way of solving the last-mile connectivity problem in many European cities. An app called Mobycy aimed at “dockless bike sharing”, specifically aimed at erasing last-mile connectivity woes was launched recently. Focussing on last-mile connectivity could well be the key to the traffic-ridden lives of urban Indians.
