🔍 New Study Alert: Unveiling the Drivers of Modal Switch from Motorcycles to Public Transport in Southeast Asia In our latest publication, we (Son Tung Nguyen, Mehdi Moeinaddini, Ismaïl Saadi and me) examine the crucial factors influencing commuters' shift from motorcycles to public transport in developing countries, with a focus on Southeast Asia. This study area is pivotal as it sheds light on sustainable mobility solutions in regions where motorcycles are a primary mode of private transport. Key Highlights: 🌏 Extensive review of factors promoting the shift towards public transport in developing countries. 🏍️ Insight into the unique modal shift from motorcycles to public transport, highlighting sustainable mobility paths. 📊 Introduction of a comprehensive theoretical framework to understand and predict these shifts. Most existing studies in this domain rely on models designed for developed countries, which may not fully capture the dynamics in developing regions where motorcycles dominate the streets. Our systematic literature review uncovers directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to pinpoint intrinsic and extrinsic factors that encourage people to opt for public transport. This exploration adds to our understanding of commuter behaviour in Southeast Asia and proposes a robust theoretical framework for predicting modal shifts in similar contexts worldwide. Our findings offer a fresh perspective and actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers keen on promoting sustainable urban mobility. 📖 Read the full study to explore our methodology, findings, and the implications for urban development and policy-making in developing countries. Let's discuss! What are your thoughts on the challenges and opportunities for promoting public transport in regions heavily reliant on motorcycles? #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #PublicTransport #SoutheastAsia #motorcycles #vietnam https://lnkd.in/eVVGxTuJ 48 days more free download at: https://lnkd.in/enr5Cehd Special thanks to Délégation générale Wallonie-Bruxelles au Vietnam.

🌟Revolutionizing Urban Mobility: Introducing the 'PM-eBus Sewa' Initiative🌟 Exciting news to share: The Union Cabinet has granted approval for the groundbreaking 'PM-eBus Sewa' plan, poised to revolutionize city bus services across the nation. This ambitious program aims to introduce a fleet of 10,000 state-of-the-art E-Buses in cities nationwide, marking a significant leap toward a more environmentally friendly and technologically advanced future. With a total investment of Rs 57,613 crores, the 'PM-eBus Sewa' initiative embraces a collaborative approach. The central government will contribute Rs 20,000 Crores through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), fostering innovation and shared progress. In addition to its transportation impact, 'PM-eBus Sewa' is projected to yield substantial economic benefits. The plan is expected to create between 45,000 and 55,000 direct jobs, contributing to job growth and economic vitality within communities. Setting ambitious targets, the initiative aims to enhance public transportation capacity by 25%. This translates to improved travel convenience, reduced congestion, and better connectivity, enhancing the overall urban experience. Of notable significance is the environmental pledge of 'PM-eBus Sewa'. Through the adoption of electric buses, the initiative anticipates a remarkable reduction of 16.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent tailpipe emissions over a decade. This represents a significant stride toward a cleaner, healthier planet. Let's come together to celebrate this monumental initiative, as we stride forward with innovation, sustainability, and progress at its core. Together, we can create cities with improved air quality, seamless transportation, and a brighter future for all. #PMeBusSewa #SustainableUrbanMobility #GreenTransport #InnovationForTomorrow #EnvironmentalCommitment #TransformingUrbanTransport #PublicPrivateCollaboration

Exciting News in Green Mobility! 🚍🔌 Gomyev is thrilled to see the Union Cabinet's approval of the PM e-bus Sewa scheme, a game-changer in promoting sustainable urban transportation. 🌏🛴 The scheme aims to integrate 10,000 e-buses into city bus services nationwide, with a focus on cities lacking organized bus services. What's even more remarkable? These e-buses will exclusively run on zero-emission electricity sources, marking a significant step towards a cleaner and greener future. 🚌🔋 With an estimated cost of ₹57,613 crore, of which ₹20,000 crore will be provided by the Centre, this scheme will operate for 10 years, revolutionizing the way we commute. Under the scheme's umbrella, a public-private partnership (PPP) model will be implemented in 169 cities, while 181 other cities will witness upgraded green urban mobility infrastructure. 🌆💡 Gomyev is proud to witness this visionary scheme, contributing to the transformation of city landscapes and improving air quality. Our commitment to electric two-wheelers aligns seamlessly with this initiative, as we continue to offer innovative solutions for a sustainable and cleaner tomorrow. 🛵⚡ Let's come together to drive progress, reduce carbon emissions, and create a healthier urban environment. 🌱🌇 www.gomyev.com #GreenMobility #SustainableTransportation #ElectricBuses #CleanerFuture #Gomyev #UrbanInfrastructure #PMebusSewa #EcoFriendlyCommuting
