The demand for a growing population leads to urbanization, which also makes the growth of transportation in the urban areas. Non-motorized transport plays a crucial role in urban transportation planning. Non-motorized transport serves as a feeder for motorized transportation that requires proper planning. Being the capital city of Bihar, Patna is growing spatially which impacts the growth of transportation. Therefore, the success of public transport relies on dependency on non-motorized transport that acts as a feeder to public transport stops/terminals. Patna noticed a decrease from 13% in 1996 to 4.8% in 2008 (CMP 2009) in public transport due to lack of infrastructure and poor planning of non-motorized transport. The objective of this research is to discuss issues, as well as the current non-motorized status, and highlights the measures to improve in the neighborhood of Patna.
