In Ahmedabad’s peripheral neighborhoods—Naroda, Isanpur, and Ranip—mobility is not a step toward opportunity, but a daily battle for dignity. Based on in-depth interviews, community engagement, and field observation, this study uncovers how broken first-mile infrastructure, unaffordable commutes, and gendered safety concerns create a transit system that systematically excludes the very people who rely on it most. By centering lived experiences, this report argues that mobility is not merely about efficiency or infrastructure—it is about access, agency, and justice. Reframing transit as a public good rather than a service, this work calls for a shift in planning paradigms toward people-first mobility that centers dignity, inclusion, and equity. Without equitable mobility, cities do not just move unevenly—they leave people behind.
