Temporary phase, sadly
I'd desperately like to believe that it's because the city has seen sense and is moving towards sustainable transport.
However, I know it is because of the economic downturn. The moment the upturn is confirmed, we'll be back to the old equation:
India shining = Automobile numbers rising.
Bad Public T=More Pvt. T
Not rocket science, but now that we have an eco downturn, we should better our PT+Ped infra so when the people get money back in their pockets we can make them spend it on... umm... err... non bio degradable FMCG?
