The purpose of this report is to initiate a dialog on these questions and begin to develop a picture of the role transport currently plays in women's lives with an understanding of the further role it can play, given women's specific needs. This study was carried out in Mumbai. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra and is the commercial and entertainment capital of India. Throughout this report the authors has used the term 'women' to refer to women and girls above the age of 16 as several of our survey respondents are students between the ages of 17 and 21. However, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the public transport needs of school- children; many of them use public transport to go to better schools that are father away from their homes. The study was on public buses and trains, however, other modes of public transport available in the city but not included in the study are black and yellow metered taxis and auto- rickshaws.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONACCESSIBILITYADVANCEMENT OF WOMENAFFORDABLE FARESAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAVERAGE NUMBER OF TRIPSBICYCLESBRIDGESBUSBUS DRIVERSBUS ENTRANCEBUS FAREBUS FARESBUS JOURNEYSBUS PASSBUS STATIONSBUS STOPBUS STOPSBUS TICKETBUS TRAVELBUS TRIPSBUS USAGEBUS USERSBUSESCARRIAGESCARSCOMMUTERSCOMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATIONCRIMES AGAINST WOMENCROWDED TRAINSDAILY TICKETDAILY TRIPSDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDRIVERSDRIVINGELASTICITYELASTICITY OF DEMANDEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITYFARE STRUCTUREFEEDER SERVICESFOOTPATHSFRAMEWORKFREQUENCY OF TRAVELGENDERGENDER ACTIONGENDER ANALYSESGENDER ANALYSISGENDER ASSESSMENTGENDER BALANCEGENDER CONSIDERATIONSGENDER DIMENSIONSGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY ACTGENDER EQUITYGENDER EXPERTGENDER EXPERTISEGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER NEEDSGENDER PERSPECTIVEGENDER PERSPECTIVESGENDER POLICYGENDER ROLESGENDER SENSITIVITYGENDER SENSITIVITY TRAININGGENDER SENSITIZATIONGENDER SENSITIZATION TRAININGGENDER SPECIFICGENDER STUDIESGIRLSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD WORKHUMAN RIGHTHUMAN RIGHTSINSPECTIONJOURNEYLACK OF SIDEWALKSLOCAL AUTHORITIESMIGRANTMINISTRY FOR WOMENMINISTRY OF WOMENMOBILITYMODAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMMODE OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMODES OF TRANSPORTNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR WOMENNATIONAL RAILWAYNATIONAL TRAVEL SURVEYNETWORK OF WOMENPARKED VEHICLESPARKINGPASSENGERPASSENGERSPAVEMENTSPEAK HOURSPEAK TRAVELPEAK USEPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTUREPEDESTRIAN WALKWAYSPOLICEPOOR WOMENPOPULATION DENSITYPREGNANT WOMENPRIVATE ROAD TRANSPORTPRIVATE TRANSPORTPROPORTION OF WOMENPUBLIC PERCEPTIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTORPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUBSIDIESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USAGEPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC URBAN TRANSPORTRAILRAIL FARESRAILWAYRAILWAY LINERAILWAY NETWORKRAILWAY STATIONSRAILWAYSRAPEREGIONAL PLANNINGREPRESENTATION OF WOMENRIGHTS OF WOMENROADROAD TRANSPORTROADSROUND TRIPROUTEROUTESRURAL TRANSPORTSAFETYSANITATIONSEXUAL HARASSMENTSHELTERSIDEWALKSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTAINLESS STEELSTREET FURNITURESTREETSSTRUCTURESSUBURBAN RAILWAYSSUBURBAN TRAINSSUBURBSSURFACE TRANSPORTSURVEYINGSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTSYMBOLSTAXISTOTAL TRIPSTRAFFICTRAIN DRIVERSTRAIN JOURNEYTRAIN TRAVELTRANSITTRANSPORT AUTHORITIESTRANSPORT EXPENDITURETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTSTRANSPORT OFFICIALSTRANSPORT ORGANIZATIONSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PRIORITIESTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICE PROVIDERSTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT STRATEGIESTRANSPORT STUDIESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION PLANNINGTRANSPORTATION PROBLEMSTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHTRANSPORTATION STUDYTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSTRAVEL BEHAVIORTRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVELERSTRIPTRIP CHAININGTRIP DESTINATIONTRIPS BY BUSTRIPS BY PUBLICTRUCKSTRUETRUST FUNDUNDERGROUNDUNDPUNFPAUNIFEMUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMENURBAN PLANNINGURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBAN TRANSPORTATIONURBANIZATIONVEHICLESVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWALKINGWALKING TIMEWATER SUPPLYWOMEN EMPLOYEESWOMEN EMPLOYMENTWOMEN ENGINEERSWOMEN IN LEADERSHIPWOMEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONSWOMEN LEADERSWOMEN WITH CHILDRENWORK TRIPSWorld Bank10.1596/12347
