This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system. Developing countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to increased focus on sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated transportation strategy is most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the sustainable transportation. The vision of planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these subsystems perform in order to have a sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing, usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these sub-systems.
