The "last mile problem" refers to the final leg of a journey from a transportation hub to a destination. In many cities, this short distance creates big challenges. People often drive cars for these trips, causing traffic jams and pollution. Traditional public transportation cannot always solve this problem because bus and train routes don't reach every location. This gap between public transit and final destinations needs creative solutions. Many cities are now testing new approaches to last mile transportation. Electric scooters and bike- sharing programs have become popular options in urban areas. These small vehicles take up less space than cars and produce zero emissions. Some companies have developed apps that help people find the closest available scooter or bike. Other solutions include on-demand shuttle services that can be requested through smartphones. These shuttles follow flexible routes based on passenger needs rather than fixed schedules. Walking remains the most sustainable last mile solution, but it requires proper infrastructure. Cities must build safe sidewalks and crosswalks to encourage people to walk. Good lighting and security measures make walking more attractive, especially at night. Some urban planners are creating car-free zones in city centers where people can walk safely. These areas often become popular shopping and dining destinations. Trees and benches along walking routes provide shade and rest spots, making longer walks more comfortable. The future of last mile transportation will likely combine multiple approaches. No single solution works for everyone in all situations. Weather conditions, physical abilities, and time constraints
