Background
If the distance to the nearest public transportation is far, it becomes an inconvenience to traveling for work every day. People tend to use their private transport completely to travel to work. But often people chose to take their bike to the nearest public transportation and park it there, it is good but it is also an inconvenience when you have to walk the last few distances after reaching the end station.
The idea is to design a transportation solution which aids to use the public transportation system and one they could carry it with themselves
