Intermediate Public Transport (IPT), also known as paratransit, encompasses a range of hired road vehicles that offer flexible passenger transportation services. Unlike traditional public transit, IPT does not operate on a fixed schedule and may vary in its adherence to set routes.[1]
The concept of Intermediate Public Transport (IPT), exhibits considerable variation between developed and developing nations. In developed countries, it is typically a flexible, demand-responsive form of public transportation designed to provide point-to-point service. These systems are generally well-structured and organized. On the other hand, in developing countries, IPT often operates as an informal, cost-effective alternative to formal transportation modes. It tends to be unorganized and subject to minimal government regulation, serving as a prevalent form of spontaneous public transport that facilitates quick and convenient travel.[1]
The importance of IPT may extends beyond mobility, as it can also contribute to the economic well-being of those who operate these services. In some cases, drivers of vehicles such as tempos and autorickshaws can earn a substantial daily income, which supports their livelihoods.[2]
