The non-motorized transport system has a great effect on the mobility of the transportation industry. Even though Metros, trams, buses, private cars walking and bike are the major transport modes all over the world, walking and cycling are the active transportation system which is used by commuters. Today it is becoming a vitally important issue regarding walking and bike due to the increase in environmental pollution. With this regard, recent demand modeling approaches are enhanced to account for bike modes as it is one of the environmentally-friendly transportation systems. Among the approaches being used improving walking facilities and bike-sharing systems is influential. Public transport users get more daily physical activity due to walking or cycling trips to and from transit stops. Conversely, high reliance on motor vehicles for transport has many negative outcomes including increased traffic congestion, sedentary behavior, health impacts, and social isolation. It is now apparent that the use of private vehicles endangers the environment and leads to many urban stressors including noise and air pollution, as well as accidents and traffic congestion. For these reasons, across cities, globally efforts are spreading to reduce car dependency and create liveable neighborhoods where walking, cycling and public transport services are the primary transport choices. The transport system in Africa is somehow different from other regions as walking and cycling are the main modes of transport due to poor implementation of public transport. Pedestrians and persons riding on 2 or 3- wheelers in the African region are the most vulnerable road users on the most dangerous roads on earth. In most countries in the region, there is little evidence that road network planning has incorporated the space and safety needs of these groups. They continue to be treated as obstacles to motorized traffic.
