Abstract
With the rapid urbanization and growing transportation demand in India, innovative solutions and methods are being evolved and borrowed from other countries. Over the last decade numerous Mass Rapid Transit Systems have come up in various cities like Metro Rails, Monorails and Bus Rapid Transit Systems. These systems meant for transport of large number of passengers at quick intervals spanning lengthy distances have simplified the life of the citizens. The interconnection of these public transport modes with intermediate public transport (IPT) is now an important issue not only from the user point of view for seamless travel across the city, but also from the authorities’ perspective to be able to offer higher quality of services. The railway-led urban development in India corresponds to the spatial planning around it and has direct impacts on population density, land use change and economy. This paper is an attempt to understand the intermodal transport hubs in Mumbai and Hyderabad and their potential in future railway-led urban development in India. This is achieved through the investigation of stations along the comparatively new Metro lines and reviewing the prevalent policies and the stakeholders that can influence the development around the station nodes.
