Paul...

Re the efforts to rid Jakarta and Delhi of becaks and rickshaws, is it fair
to view this as something of an elitist agenda to rid the communities of
something seen as unsightly? What are the people who use these systems
supposed to do? Walk? Eventually buy cars? Appears to be a real dilemma and
would be interested in perspectives on this.
