The increase in population sizes and rapid modernisation has placed adverse effects upon the transport system. Many people now compete towards owning a vehicle and this has exacerbated congestion and increased the risk of accidents on the road. Mass transit systems seem to have gained popularity in minimising transport challenges. They are highly esteemed due to their advantages of increased safety, low cost, reduced risk of accidents and high dependability. These are motivating reasons enough to encourage the adoption of mass transit systems in the transportation sector. Thus, the purpose of the chapter is to explore the benefits of mass transit systems and their relevance in the urban sector of Zimbabwe. The chapter expounds the major reasons behind lowering the use of private vehicles, one of that is reducing congestion and delays on the road. Zimbabwean cities have had a long time of suffering from transport issues and thus the chapter encourages the adoption of mass transit systems as one way to achieve sustainability and resilience in the transport sector. The chapter uses a desktop approach to explore the how other countries have managed to successfully use the models. A few local urban case studies are explored to ascertain the depth of the challenges in the transportation systems in Zimbabwe. The chapter recommends the adoption of the mass transit system models as a better way to increase safety and reliability on the road and ensure sustainable transportation system.
