Transforming Urban Transportation: How Will It Be Done?

Only 25 of India's 88 cities with populations over half a million have formal public transport systems, despite 45% of India's urban population using public transport.

How can the government promote innovative business models for viable, inclusive transit systems? What technological solutions and new financial mechanisms would be useful in managing private motorization demand, resolving infrastructure deficiencies, and promoting integrated land use and transport planning?
