The measurement of transit accessibility and availability are important both for forecasting transit ridership and for planning and evaluating transit service. Accessibility has been regarded a property of people indicating how easily they can reach a set of potential destination. While measuring transit accessibility, both spatial and time dimensions in terms of walking distances, walking and waiting duration are important parameters to patronize the transit riders. The present paper focuses on measurement of transit accessibility for small study area of Adajan area of Surat city considering two major bus routes through the area.

Today, transportation systems in most of our cities are no longer sustainable and that is the cause of worry for the planners. Therefore promoting bicycle transportation as major part of Non Motor Vehicle system (NMV) gains due importance in both traffic planning and operation stages. Present paper aims to examine the possible solution to back up the bicycle system and provide policy guidelines to promote such system in urban areas with the focus on movement on lower hierarchical urban roads to provide sustainable transportation. It provides strategies to tilt the travel shift to bicycle usage on tertiary and secondary road of urban areas through proper integration of land use and transportation planning.
