India is a large and diverse nation with more than 1.3 billion people, ranking second most populated country in the world. The current population trend shows the cumulative population in urban areas when compared to rural areas where a proper public transportation system and infrastructure must be established and maintained properly for the movement of people from one place to the other. In India, metro rail transport is considered one of the fastest and smoothest modes of transport when compared to any other mode of transport. Bus is the generic mode of transport, due to the wide network and economical rate of travel. The objective was to design a futuristic public transport in India for 2030 focusing on aesthetics and usability. The study highlights the population trend, increasing demands, different modes of transport and ergonomic factors which were considered to design “Flyway 2030”. The scope of study includes adaptation to softwares like Photoshop for making 2D concepts, Autodesk Alias for surface modeling and Catia for 3D modeling and Key shot for rendering the new motorcycle. Also, scale down prototype of 1: 80 ratio was made using PU foam focusing on the aesthetic quality of the model.
