Megacities, with populations exceeding 10 million, face immense transportation challenges as they grow. Limited infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the influx of residents, leading to severe traffic congestion.

This environmental impact necessitates a shift towards sustainable transportation solutions.
To tackle these challenges, megacities must invest in expanding and modernizing public transportation networks. Implementing efficient bus rapid transit systems, expanding metro lines, and promoting cycling infrastructure are crucial steps.
