Maha Metro is planning to implement a mobility app for the city of Nagpur in India. The app will show all available modes of transportation (public and private) connecting the first mile (origin) to Metro and Metro to last-mile (destination).
The app will also display multiple journey options, i.e., search results with probable cost, tentative journey time, greenest mode among all suggested options, the carbon footprint for other mode options, etc. Such a service is dependent on high-quality mobility data. Maha Metro will, therefore, build its capacity to operate and maintain the platform. Besides, the project will help to develop standardized data on the route network and schedules of all public transport modes, provide integrated maps/navigation of all public transport modes.
Project's Objectives
The project aims to increase public transport ridership in Nagpur through a platfrom for integrated journey planning that informs public transport users on the shortest, cheapest and most environmentally friendly public transport alternatives.
Key Outputs
Mission to Nagpur in August 2019
Slight project adjustments and clarification of scope
Grant agreement being processed, ready for implementation

Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is headed by the Minister, Svenja Schulze, the Parliamentary State Secretaries, Dr. Bärbel Kofler and Niels Annen, and the State Secretary, Jochen Flasbarth. When Germany provides a developing country with a low-interest loan, when German experts advise the government of a partner country on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) or when private German organisations carry out projects in developing countries, these are all approaches involving direct development cooperation between Germany and its partners. Besides engaging in such bilateral development cooperation activities, Germany is also involved in activities for the benefit of the developing countries at the international level.
