Multi-Modal Transportation System (MMTS) helps in improving the quality and robustness of roads, transport infrastructure networks, greatly impacts on economic growth, reduce income inequalities and alleviate poverty. The different transportation modes incurred in the strategies include the combination of Walk/Private mode/Public Mode to Bus to Walk/2W/Private mode/Public Mode. This study aims to identify some strategies for improving the travel time performance of multimodal transportation system. The study is carried out in the Bhopal city, state capital of Madhya Pradesh, India. This study presents a basic methodology framework to identify strategies consisting of three major steps. This includes the identification of key performance indicators, development of the Multimodal Travel Time Index and identification of strategies for improving the travel time performance of the Multimodal Transportation System. The major strategies identified in this study include reducing the percentage of walk trips to reach the stop, reducing the no. of stops/km length on a route, and increasing the frequency of feeder services to the users. It is expected that the study will help the transit agencies to improve the passenger satisfaction on the level of services by investigating the travel time in different stages for their multi-modal transportation trip. Thus, the strategies identified in this study will also be useful for improving the travel time performance of multimodal transportation systems in a developing country.
