The Hubballi–Dharwad Bus Rapid Transit System (HDBRTS) represents one of India’s most prominent BRT initiatives in a medium-sized urban context. This paper evaluates the performance of HDBRTS through a multidimensional framework focusing on accessibility, availability, mobility outcomes, and safety. Drawing on primary data from a structured survey of 2,064 commuters—supplemented by focus group discussions, stakeholder interviews, and secondary accident records—the study provides a comprehensive, user-centric assessment of the system.
Keywords: Hubballi–Dharwad BRTS; Accessibility; Availability; Urban Mobility; Travel Behaviour; Public Transport; Road Safety
