DEVELOPING DIVERSE TRANSIT HUB FOR SURAT RAIL STATION (original) (raw)

The transportation systems of emerging countries face considerable challenges at the start of the twenty-first century. The highways are always congested, and access to economically significant centres is deteriorating. In response to the fast changing urban setting in terms of infrastructure, demographic shifts, social preferences, and sustainability considerations, Indian Railways has been proactive in presenting proposals and solutions for the restoration of old railway stations. Multimodal transportation may be a viable solution for some of these mobility issues. By mixing private and public transportation in a multimodal transportation system, users can benefit from the strengths of both systems while avoiding their drawbacks. The purpose of this dissertation is to strengthen the relationship between various modes of transportation that are close to each other as a multi-modal hub by redeveloping Surat railway station. As a result, the ultimate goal of a multi-modal hub is realised, which encompasses numerous modes and related services in order to create a higher degree of transportation network. Encourage the development of integrated traffic movement, transportation facilities, and associated services to meet the development's surroundings. The building of transportation infrastructure takes into account user demand, multiple mode connectivity, and passenger comfort.
