mobilityGrowth in vehicle ownership and demand for transportation is also leading to higher congestion in urban centers. The cost of congestion is estimated to be Rs. 1.47 lakh crore annually in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore8, and vehicular emissions rates are increasing9 , with negative implications on human health and the environment10. 7 A transition to shared mobility can help address these growing challenges. This shift will enable efficient asset utilization by transitioning from a model of ownership of private assets to usership of shared assets. Shared mobility has the potential to displace private vehicle ownership, which is typically costly11, inequitable, and inefficient in comparison. This could unlock a transportation future that is more affordable, reliable, clean, and efficient. India is uniquely positioned to embrace shared mobility. Several factors— including familiarity with shared services, strong digital infrastructure, and a vibrant entrepreneurial culture12—support India’s opportunity to meet transportation demand with shared mobility solutions. This could enable a leapfrog of private vehicle ownership and avoid many of the associated negative consequences and externalities. This report develops a common understanding of shared passenger mobility, discusses several factors that support and challenge the adoption of shared mobility in India, and provides suggestions to help develop and promote a shared mobility system. If pursued, such actions could support more efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation systems for Indian communities.
