Agree with your views. If public transportation is not reliable then people would force to use private vehicle. The frequency of public transportation should increase so that people don't have to spend their time waiting at the bus stop or train station for train or bus to arrive. If freqency increases I believe large number of people would prefer public transportation.

In my city, Public Transport is very much available. You can get a Bus connecting even to the remotest rural places every  minute. Still, Private transportation like Cars, Taxis did not reduce, leading to Traffic jams.

First of all we need to have very strict road safety regulations . India has the highest accident rates in the world, life is cheap here because of many things.

Many people are killed in Road accidents due to lack of awareness by the Road users. Accidents are more prevalent in Urban regions.

Walking on Indian roads is a painful exercise. The layout is improper, the near absence of proper pavements and encroachments make one feel safe in one's own vehicle as far as possible.

According to the Community Against Drunken Driving, CADD nearly 70% of all fatalities are due to drunken driving. Despite heavy penalties the corresponding, fatalities did not decrease. What all we need is strict adherence to the Law.

Yes, laws should be strictly implemented then only we will see some improvement. People are comfortable to pay the fine and get rid of the problem. Government should arrest such people along with fine, so that it will create some fear in the mind of drunken people.They will think 10 times more before driving.

Government should not think, just by introducing some laws, it's responsibility is over and wash off its hands. Unfortunately, in India this is not happening. The other day, , People who were arrested for drunken driving,  were ordered to perform Traffic duties for Two Days. Additionally, youngsters were caught and arrested for Bike Racing on busy roads. Such penalties will create a fear in the law violators. It needs a constant vigil by the Authorities.

 

people will only travel in public transport when there is a easy and convenient way of travelling in local vehicles, safe and affordable for the poor people
