| description | This thesis presents a framework to incorporate equity into public transport (PT) planning, demonstrated in Bengaluru, India.

To address this, policy interventions are provided. At network level, evolution of PT accessibility and affordability showed that metro has improved equity to an extent. To improve further mode integrated strategies are provided. |
