Multimodal integration (MMI) is the design of the streets around a metro or railway station so passengers can walk, cross and change to buses, autos and taxis safely. Syntegrity Consulting prepares MMI designs, feasibility studies, DPRs and traffic simulations for metro authorities, with completed work on Mumbai Metro Lines 2B and 9 for MMRDA and the Sakinaka junction on Metro Line 1.

What multimodal integration covers
Walking and crossing
Footpaths, pedestrian crossings, foot over bridges and underpasses that link station entrances to the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Changing modes
Bus stops, auto and taxi bays, drop-off points and cycle parking placed so passengers can transfer easily.
Roads, drains and junctions
Junction improvements, road geometry, storm-water drains, street furniture and utility mapping, shown in GADs, BOQs and cost estimates.
Traffic simulation
Simulation of vehicles and pedestrians to test MMI plans before they are built.

Frequently asked questions
What is multimodal integration in metro projects?
Multimodal integration (MMI) is the planning and design of the area around a metro station (footpaths, crossings, foot over bridges, bus stops, auto and taxi bays, drop-off points and junctions) so that passengers can reach the station and change between modes safely and quickly.
Who are multimodal integration consultants in India?
Syntegrity Consulting, based in Mumbai, prepared the MMI design for eight station areas (~15 km) on Mumbai Metro Line 9 and the feasibility study, DPR and traffic simulation for Metro Line 2B stations for MMRDA.
What does an MMI DPR include?
Typically existing-condition surveys and utility mapping, pedestrian and traffic studies, options, General Arrangement Drawings for footpaths, crossings, FOBs or underpasses and junctions, bills of quantities and cost estimates.
Why is traffic simulation used for MMI plans?
Simulation tests how vehicles and pedestrians will move with the proposed layout, so problems such as queues at drop-off points or unsafe crossings can be fixed before construction.
