Gig workers are individuals who work temporary, flexible jobs. These jobs are typically contracted on a short-term basis and are often facilitated through digital platforms or apps. Workers with static nature of job feels the lack of belonging and the sense of community because, they are continuously moving from one place to another with very less interval of pauses inbetween. The research on these kind of workers directs to understand very essential needs and other social, economical issues to respond in tangible manner. The proposal is enhaced for the mobile workers who are constantly in movement in the job in which food delivery agents are the key focus. Proposal is spreaded accross the Ahmedabad city in three different scales: 1) Primary Interventions 2) Secondery Interventions 3) Micro-mobility Interventions. It is linked with the existing transit infrastructure like bus stops (AMTS). 

The site for primary larger intervention is Navrangpura bus stop which has been abandoned from last many years because of structural lifespan and lack of maintenance. The site allows the opportunity to revitalize the prominent bus stop designed by Ar. Charles Correa and the dominent surrounding to it. The micro-mobility infrastructure is implimented considering the issue of vehicle ownership and fuel consumption of these workers which is also for the public usage.
