First and last mile connectivity

First and last mile connectivity refers to the initial and final segments of a transportation or delivery journey. The first mile involves getting a person or goods from their starting point—such as a home or factory—to a main transportation hub like a railway station or delivery center. The last mile is the final stretch, bringing them from the hub to the final destination, such as a customer’s house. Improving these linkages ensures efficient, reliable transit, reduces delays, and enhances access, making overall transportation and logistics systems more effective and user-friendly.
