3.7 Conclusion
The areas having high population density, lying in the southwestern part of BBMP
have quite a high AI, ranging from 6a to 6b (very good to best public transport
accessibility). Interestingly, the Uber trip generation maps of 2016–18 establish the
fact that the wards comprising these areas itself have the maximum number of Uber
trip generation. Since these wards house the maximum number of app-based shared
mobility users, this potential must be utilized to integrate ABSM with public transit
to provide the residents with Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Any such kind of pilot
project has more chances of succeeding in these wards as compared to others since
its residents are already well versed with the technological requirements to access
these services.
Moreover, it was observed during the recce survey that BMTC bus stops were not
at a walkable distance in the IT hub-Electronic City. However, the dock-stations of
Yulu bike services were close by to both the commercial and residential areas, and
