I will shortly be realising a long-held ambition, and paying my first
visit to India. (Dubai, while containing many Indians, didn't really
count.) I will be coming to Mumbai, to work on an "Institutional
Development Study" for BEST, or at least its bus operating arm.
The project will cover at least 12 months, and I expect to be in
Mumbai for a few months within that period - first visit in April or
May, I should think. I have not yet fully read the brief - it is
mainly about increased efficiency within the organisation, but I hope
to be able to address wider transport issues too. I have seen plenty
of coverage of such things on this list in the past (from Kisan,
Debi?).
So - I would be very pleased to exchange opinions with "interested
parties", and perhaps to meet any Mumbai/Bombay sustranners when I get
there.
Regards, Alan
(PS: I was rather shocked to discover that Mumbai has a poorer ratio
of buses to people than Edinburgh - never mind Shanghai, which is
perhaps a better comparison.)
