I have been seeing right from my primary school days that the biggest problem is public transport system(city buses) in india. Even though it runs on govt subsidy and is cheaper to travel in that than traveling in your own vehicle. Problem with public transport within cities is that the infrastructure isnt suitable to handle so much traffic, second problem is that there are few buses running around on those routes, this triggers mad rush and overcrowded buses. These buses are bulky and hence block most of the 4 wheeler traffic, too many traffic stops mean more pollution at these stops as drivers rarely switch off their engines. Then i have noticed that the max crowd is at working hours..around this time slot ----> 8:30-9:30 am and 5:00-7:00pm.
So my solution to this is simple, usually those buses have around 50 seating capacity, now at office hours it makes sense to put those transport buses which have 0 seats, in short fill up those people who want to reach their work place. so when u pull out those seats from these buses, u double or triple the capacity to carry. Now most of the people who travel dont care about sitting in those seats and all they are concerned is reaching the workplace, school etc on time. So i am not saying that they eliminate all those seats in buses, what i am pointing at is run fewer buses with seats so that the sick, old and physically challenged people can travel in those buses and all others who care about reaching place on time...travel in seatless buses. Then put on luxury buses which charge a premium to occupy those seats which are non-stop and not point to point. This is one such solution to cut down on over crowded roads and carry crowd from one place to another. I hope some sensible guy reads this and forces the government to implement this :D
