Hi Sustraners

I fully agree with Sujit and Dinesh, but I think we should also realise that the Supreme Court is passing orders on a petition filed about 15 years ago (or more!) .

The Bombay High Court has also not yet got around to the other issues listed in the Lal committee report which deal with these other issues.

I am sorry to say that we have yet to make a beginning in educating the public about public transport priorities, and until we can get our act together, the flyover, highway, expressway and automobile lobby will have a field day. 

Isn't it ironical that in the largest democracy in the world, public transport gets the least priority?

Cheers

Debi
