This paper examines the modal shift and sustainable urban mobility in India, with a specific focus on the case studies of the Lucknow and Hyderabad Metro systems. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors related to modal shift and promote mass rapid transit systems for sustainable mobility. The objective of this paper is to study and document available modes of transport, analyze strategies for promoting mass rapid transit systems, and identify the factors affecting mode choice, including household income, family size, car ownership, age and sex, and characteristics of the transport system such as travel time, travel cost, reliability, comfort, and convenience. The research methodology employed in this study involved a literature review of previous studies and reports on modal shift and sustainable urban mobility in India. The results of this study highlight the potential of mass rapid transit systems in promoting sustainable urban mobility and reducing the reliance on private vehicles The findings also suggest that the success of metro projects depends on a variety of factors, including the correct definition of traffic corridors, the technology adopted, the availability of land, the volume of traffic carried, the capacity utilization, and the acceptance of the mode by commuters. The case studies of Lucknow and Hyderabad Metro provide useful insights into the challenges and opportunities in implementing mass rapid transit systems in Indian cities. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on sustainable urban mobility in India and highlights the need for policymakers to prioritize mass rapid transit systems in their efforts to promote sustainable and equitable urban development.
