Urban tourism has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of global tourism, particularly in developing countries where cities are undergoing rapid modernization. Urban centers are not simply administrative or economic hubs; they are key cultural, historical, social, and recreational spaces that attract millions of tourists each year. However, a city’s tourism potential is strongly linked to the efficiency, accessibility, and affordability of its transportation systems. Among the various modes of urban transport, metro rail systems and organized local transport networks have become integral to shaping urban mobility experiences. Their development significantly influences the convenience, satisfaction, and overall travel behavior of both domestic and international tourists.
