Public Transport in India is in a nascent stage and developments are taking place slowly as requirement for travelling, is taking its place. Pollution is taking its toll and this has driven the need for pollution free vehicles. Electric buses are starting to be operated with the Indian government incentivizing the use of these buses by providing subsidy to bus operators and State governments which are using them. Transport promotes area wise development hence the concept of Transit Oriented Development(TOD) is being used.This paper gives an overview of what are the different types of new concepts developed world over in the field of Public Transport.
