Data is already recognized as an essential piece for unlocking maximum value within a transportation system and it has the potential to create more efficient passenger mobility. The aim of this research is to critically assess the ecosystem for mobility data including policies and regulations in India to administer the pandemic and post-pandemic scenario. The paper identified various data sources based on a typical public transport journey, further summarizing strategies adopted world-wide during COVID-19. The application of data during and post pandemic scenario is discussed to identify that contact tracing and development of digital payment systems as most necessary for same. The paper concludes with a critical evaluation of current ecosystem of data policies putting forward the recommendations to current data policies in India.
