Understanding the mobility of care in Indian cities Learnings from Bengaluru
This paper analyses travel diaries of 6,522 individuals across 16 Bengaluru neighbourhoods to understand care-trip patterns, mode choice and trip chaining, informing care-responsive planning and approaches transferable across Indian cities.
This paper examines mobility of care in Bengaluru, drawing on travel diaries of 6,522 individuals across 16 neighbourhoods under the MobiliseHER project. It explores who undertakes care trips and how these journeys are made, analysing travel patterns, mode choices, costs and trip chaining through survey data, focus group discussions and geospatial mapping. Addressing critical gaps in care mobility research, the study offers actionable recommendations for developing care-responsive neighbourhoods and a replicable approach for other Indian cities.
