[sustran] Non-Motorised Transport and Related Issues

[Ramon Fernan III]

It's great to have developed country consultants and "experts" getting
together about developing country NMT-related issues. We can then hope that
this filters down to developing country people, eventually, if only to
correct the motor vehicle biases that our technical people got while
attending Western academic institutions. What, in ten years or so. Unless
there is possibility of transferring the technology more quickly? We get
this impression that our government bureaucrats believe that NMTs are both
technically unfeasible, economically unviable, and socially unacceptable
even if they condescendingly nod our way when we advocate NMT.
