Findings

 Our focus was to study the impact of the factors influencing the preferred modes of transport
among working people. The sample we took for it includes working class of various age group
between 18 & 67 both male and female. We have 39.40% male 60.60% female. The sample is
split among age group 18-27(55%),28-37(22.9%),38-47(12.8%),48-57(9.2%) and 58-67(0%).
 It was found that mostly working population in mumbai, first preferred mode is their own
vehicle because its less time consuming followed by convenience.
 second preferred mode is Ola and Uber because of its convenience and the personal space they
get from it. So here cost is not mattered and also the persons main motto is to reach on time
 According to the study, short distance travel and when travelling to train-metro station, people
prefer auto and taxi because of economic efficiency and saves time rather than travelling by Ola
and Uber as their rates are comparatively higher.
 Where as for longer distance travelling people prefer train as it is fastest mode to reach a
particular destination compared to auto and taxi which cost more money and time.
 During monsoon and for Formal meeting, people tend to travel by Ola/Uber due to the urgency
of the situation. This may be because of unplanned meeting and so people want to reach on
time. People relay on Ola and Uber as it is much more time convenient waiting for trains and
autos. Also Ola and Uber shows the availability and expected time to reach on destination.

Recommendations

For the Government

 As our research is of Mumbai region and of Working population, we would recommend
government should look into the frequency of Train to avoid crowd.
 Frequency of trains should be more for shorter distance (Borivali-Andheri, Borivali-Bandra) as it
will reduce crowd from longer distance train(Borivali-Churchgate)

For Ola and Uber

 In different conditions working population are more relayed on Ola and Uber and so this private
company should make changes in their fare by diminishing the price. This will increase their
business in short distance travelling.
