Until recently, transport planning and design was regarded as “gender-neutral” and were assumed to equally benefit both men and women. Now there is increasing recognition that women experience mobility differently than men. Thus, a one size-fits-all transportation system can aggravate gender and socioeconomic inequalities and limit women’s access to economic opportunities.  There is a growing body of literature that documents the differences in men and women’s mobility pattern.  However, there is limited evidence on the evolution of these mobility patterns overtime and the causal role that transportation networks play in women’s access to economic opportunities. This study attempts to fill this gap and contributes to the literature in two ways. First, it documents the differences in men and women’s mobility patterns in Mumbai, India, and the changes in these patterns overtime (as the city has developed). Second, it explores whether the lack of access to mass transit limits women’s labor force participation in Mumbai.  The study accomplishes this by analyzing two household surveys (repeated cross sections) that were conducted in the Greater Mumbai Region in 2004 and 2019. The study finds important differences in the mobility patterns of men and women which reflect differences in the division of labor within a family. These differences in mobility patterns, and their evolution over time, points to deficiencies in Mumbai’s urban landscape. Specifically, the lack of integrated planning between transport and land use in the Greater Mumbai Region imposes a “pink-tax” on female mobility. However, transport appears to be only one of the barriers to women’s labor force participation.
