We need to adopt a Public Transport centric approach to fight
pollution, climate change and the congestion on roads. We all are aware
that accessibility and urban mobility are critical for promoting sustainable
urban economic development in Indian cities.
M Venkaiah Naidu
Vice President, India
Many people would switch from private vehicles to public transport
if they were convenient, safe, reliable and affordable. The government
must introduce disincentives in the form of increase in road tax,
surcharge on fuel, high parking fees, and so on, to increase the patronage
of public transport.
E. Sreedharan
