Very relevant topic, Nitin. I feel a genuine balance needs to be struck between the two. The BRT idea is not bad….but unless it extends to all parts of Delhi it will never make sense. And this might take ages!!!!
Some ways could be:
1. Car pooling
2. Using our cycles for short distances
3. Promoting rickshaw travel a lot…..AS MUCH AS WE CAN SINCE A POOR MAN ALSO MAKES A LIVING OUT OF IT
4. Taking a bus or the metro as much as possible
5. Avoiding travel inside the city unless it is absolutely necessary. Infact, buying our groceries, veggies, fruits etc once a week makes more sense, I guess. This way we can reduce our frequency of travel…..thereby avoiding jams, pollution etc.
Lets all keep doing our bit…..REMEMBER….DROPS MAKE AN OCEAN!!!
