India’s bus commuters keep cities moving, yet they remain among the most underserved in the urban transport conversation. The Double The Bus initiative is a nationwide movement calling for a massive expansion of public bus fleets across Indian cities, and placing the everyday commuter at the centre of that demand.
This webinar brings together voices from across the movement to make the case for urgent investment in public bus infrastructure. We’ll explore why buses are indispensable to sustainable urban mobility, how the initiative is building a commuter-led advocacy movement, and what you can do to push for better public transit in your own city.
Whether you’re a daily commuter, a policy watcher, or simply someone who believes Indian cities deserve better, this is your entry point into one of the country’s most important urban mobility conversations.
