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?

And, that will bring us back
And, that will bring us back to this (sung to the tune of 'doe, a deer, a female deer - - - ')
