N2  - ndia had 12 cities with populations of more than 1 million in 1981 and will have 24 cities with populations of this size by the year 2000. Nonmotorized transport modes (walk, bicycle, cycle rickshaw, and tonga) are important components of the urban transport system. Travel by these modes ranged from 26 percent (Bombay) to 56 percent (Bangalore) in large cities and 56 percent (Vadodara) to 69 percent (Jaipur) in small cities. Urban poverty persists in India. Data from 9 cities indicate that nonmotorized transport is quite significant and particularly so to the urban poor. Although transport modernization is likely to take place gradually, urban planners must incorporate nonmotorized travel into their analysis and transport planning.
