Public transportation in developing countries is faced with myriad of problems and challenges such as low quality services, high costs, and insufficient coverage; but is very crucial for mobility, accessibility, and sustainability, most especially with increasing urbanization, population, and environmental concerns. Transportation is crucial for both economic and social development of nations. It is also a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, for which there is the urgent need for a paradigm shift towards a holistic approach that integrates transport with economic and social considerations, particularly for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Developing countries must support the pursuit of green and resilient transport by starting with the importance of setting climate goals, and develop their own path to Paris Align transport. The paper looks into the challenges to public transportation in developing countries faced by commuters, government, and private investors, with an attempt to proffer viable solutions.
