India Developing, but still a long way to go

[Bombaywalla]

In next 40 years, what plan India have to stop traffic growth? Not even in advance countries they can't stop that but they plan according to yearly growth and then based on that they build roads in advance and that is how things work. Do these planner calculate those things?

No plans for the moment. The focus right now however, is on public transportation, as it should be.

I don't understand where this sort of thinking comes from; I honestly don't. It's call mass public transportation for a reason

mass public transportation doesnt need to be as fancy as those

Fancy? The ads are paid for by advertisers, not by taxpayers.

You are seriously calling Delhi Metro as too fancy?

Nice but terrible driving etiquette, Especially on a expressway, Everyone driving on the right /fast lanes and honking, Heavy vehicles on the middle lanes, Are there any programs to educate people on correct driving methods on freeways ?

From what I saw on the video our driving etiquette on expressways is much better . Nobody honks on expressways here . Also the driving sense in Islamabad is much better . Maybe There are way too much cars on Indian roads .

Like what? Please give me examples other than the MetroBus that you have in Pakistan, which is of a much lower capacity than mass transit railway.

... more cars, more people, more everything.

Bombay city drives much better than the rest of India, though.

metro bus in pakistan is a true master piece of corruption, only a small segment of people takes advantage of this, where as similar advantages could also be achieved by different means,

i can not give you examples because im no expert, but what i want to say is why make metro, which is imported and expensive, why cant a simple home grown train transit provide same benefits, or we need to make things costly for the looks

Metro rakes are made in India and only the initial sets were imported.

Not really.

There is no real substitute for a metro system in a high population city.

You can ask @anant_s and @AndrewJin for their opinions on this.

For a mega city like Bombay with a massive population of over 20 mil, A rapid transit system is a must, So i dont see there are other viable options to a Metro system there, As is for other places like Delhi and Madras

Yes, thank you.

We try and manufacture/assemble as much as we possibly can locally.

 

[Chhatrapati]

its good but there is still a debate going on in pakistan over these projects, which fits on india too like
1. what should be the priority of a country with large population living blow poverty line?
2. these projects cost too much for a developing country.

I'm bored of this same song. Now what else a government should do? India is not a country full of poor people. Only 21% lives under poverty line. According to your idiotic argument. Government should only spend for welfare schemes of BPL people. We are a developing country and we have a lot of money there is a lot of people who can afford these transit systems. Let them have it. Or we should travel in bullock carts, since 21% of our people live in poverty? We find our own ways to do things. The poverty song is outdated since the Mars Mission The same applies to Pakistan too. Don't wait till everybody is on board or you reach the destination late.
