Abstract: Integration of NMT and public transit would address the shortcomings of both systems while providing bus riders with dependable and long-term door-to-door service. However, it lacks the door-to-door service needed to compete with private cars and improve the living standards of the poor. A door-to-door service could mean that bus routes are available throughout the city. Public transit, on the other hand, has proven to be successful in high-demand areas, and extending routes to low-demand areas will be inefficient. Bicycles can be used as a feeder mode to help public transit enter previously inaccessible areas. Bicycle infrastructure is important because it has the potential to persuade a significant number of people who would not otherwise ride a bicycle to do so. It is not possible to include these infrastructures at all bus stops and on all roads due to financial constraints. Bicycle parking facilities and lanes should be prioritized at bus stops and on highways. By complementing these modes, integrated transportation enhances their efficiency, resulting in greater economic and social benefits. It is a cost-effective mode of transportation. These modes of transportation are intended to complement one another and function as a single major transportation system. The aim of this study is to merge non-motorized transportation with bus transportation by prioritizing routes and stops for bicycle infrastructures in order to maximize the bus-bike catchment while operating with limited resources which will help in understanding the better understanding of people's travel behavior, Prioritize the addition of a bicycle parking facility to bus stops, making bicycle infrastructure provision a top priority for access routes to bus stops.
