Understanding the Impact of Bus Aggregators on Urban Mobility in India’s National Capital Region

This briefing by the World Resources Institute evaluates the environmental and socioeconomic impact of Shuttl, a bus aggregator operating in India's National Capital Region (Delhi-NCR), specifically examining its effect on urban transportation emissions and its relationship with public transit.

• Research indicates that Shuttl has positively impacted the environment in Delhi-NCR by reducing criteria pollutants (VOC, CO, NOx, PM2.5) and CO2 emissions by 14,022 tons per year.
• Analysis suggests that Shuttl does not primarily compete with public bus services in Delhi, as fewer than 2 percent of the surveyed sample transitioned from public buses to Shuttl.
• Shuttl is not accessible to low-income commuters because the service requires a smartphone and involves higher fares than those of public transit.
