missing the point

I saw the program too and they were blaming the TATA's for innovating on the car and not on the Bus instead. TATA seems to have become a soft target for everybody taking potshots. The providers have gone scot free with pathetic service and utter lack of innovation. There are environment friendly CNG busses in Delhi made by the likes of TATA's and still they knock down 100 people a year. There are world class Volvo's on the Bangalore roads and it still faces a traffic poblem. I am sure once Nano's are misused on the roads by unlicensed people without driving skills the TATA's will be blamed and not the athorities who should be engineering our roads/rules/lanes and the ones enforcing them.

What does a world-class Bus mean? Current buses manufactured by TATA’s and the Hinduja’s is better than any other manufacturer in the world for the price they are paid. The current issue with the public transport corporation’s run by the sate governments is not having a world-class bus. These corporations can better perform if the state governments stop intervening into their business and allowing them to do business on their own. In many states the public transportation (passenger) are monopolized in the favor of state corporations with little room for private operators. As there is no competition in this field the service rendered is poor. Tamil Nadu can become a role model for bus services where we have healthy competition between the private and government services. None of the state transport corporations around the country have a track record of running into profits till date with the exception of BMTC. The only reason why BMTC making profits is due its high fares and low taxes paid to the GOK. Who will be interested in jumping into a business that doesn’t have any money and high risks? Public transport corporations owned by state governments are run in our country as a non profit organizations as they more bound to be service oriented than profit oriented. Why haven’t we heard anything regarding the public transport from these TV channels and the intelligent people till now, who are currently spending their valuable time on this. Why all this fuss when we can standup proud in front of the world and show that we too can achieve some thing good. Lets not spend our time in judging weather Nano is good or Bad, anyhow will time give its judgment in the next 2 years to come. My best wishes for Ratan for his next ambition of creating low cost water purification system… Hope we will have it soon.. To drench the throats of millions of my fellow Indians who can’t afford to have at least safe drinking water even after embracing 60 years of independence…
