As seen in the geographical structure and economy dependency on transportation channels in the case of Kerala the establishment of high-standard highways plays an important role in efficiency in the logistics activities. Therefore, this study adopted secondary data from government bodies and industry publications to assess how current advancements in highways, including the extension of the National Highway 66, affects transit time, logistics cost and general supply chain performance on various products. The results indicate a rapid and consistent increase in transportation time, and decrease in the cost and delivery reliability thus promoting Kerala's economic development. From these outcomes it is clear that additional investments in physical capital are still necessary to sustain a favourable transport logistics position.

This study investigates how investors in indigenous chit funds in Kerala, locally called as ‘Kurris’ or ‘Chitties’, behave after making an investment, with the goal of identifying the factors that affect their opinion, satisfaction, perception, and future investment intentions. The study employs a descriptive and analytical approach, gathering primary data from 200 rural investors in Kerala through structured questionnaires. Additionally, it utilises secondary data from various reports, publications, and journals. The research design is both descriptive and analytical. Even though Chit Fund schemes are common, there is still a lack of understanding regarding investor behavioural post-participation. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining investors' opinions, attitudes, motivations, and satisfaction levels, thereby guiding efforts to improve financial literacy and inclusion in rural areas. This study also confirms the association between investment satisfaction and behavioural intentions and the association between investors’ awareness and investment attitude towards Kurris. The study highlights that Kurris are the most liquid, flexible, economical, social, cooperative, accessible, simple, and gender-neutral Indigenous investment avenue for the rural and low-income populace.

Adapted SERVQUAL gap analysis, mean score, radar diagrams were applied for data analysis purposes. The study assessed that Bond Service offers better service quality to Kerala passengers. Also, the study found that the bond service outperformed the conventional bus services in different dimensions of service experience. The study indicated that the decision of the operator to withdraw the bond service, which was widely accepted by providing a better service experience to the passengers, should be reconsidered and this would help the loss-making operators to recover.

Commuters' transit mode choices are likely to be affected by the heightened risk associated with crowded places coupled with social distancing initiatives in public and shared transportation. With the increased usage of e-services, transport freight needs may also shift. To analyse the possible dimensions of such a shift, an online survey was conducted among 200 commuters of various districts in Kerala, which was aligned to educe the perceptions of respondents related to their travel mode selection. Along with tables and charts, data were analysed with the help of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Almost 30 per cent of respondents expressed that they are likely to alter their modes of transport after COVID-19. A sharp declains has been detailed within the utilization of public transport and occasions of shared mobility have dropped as well. Typically anticipated to move to the usage of private cars and motorized two-wheelers and intermediate public transport; taxis and auto-rickshaws etc. The share of non-motorized modes may increment, particularly for short-distance travel. Evidence of drastic shifts in the public transit parameters (determinants of transit mode choice) is also highlighted in this study.
Keywords: Public Transit, Mode choice, Mode Shift, COVID-19.
