What is safe access to transit?
Ensures the safe movement of people to and from transit stations
Covers all mode of access with appropriate priority: walking, bicycling, IPT, public transport , etc.
For people of all ability: senior citizens, physically challenged etc.
Includes access to ancillary transit facilities – conveniences, street-vending, public spaces, shopping, parking etc.
Ensures other co-benefits: shorter travel time, ease of transfer, comfort, convenience, etc.

Barriers in the Urban Indian Context
Over-saturated infrastructure; Encroachments on the right of way
No integration of feeder services
No defined movement paths: free for all
Stations adjacent to major highway corridors (high speed / high volume of through traffic)
Large blocks / poor local connectivity
