Debating the liberalisation of public transport in Delhi

Two weeks ago *Barun Mitra*, director of India's Liberty Institute, called
for the liberalisation of the entire public transport sector in Delhi,
prophesying rather naively that this would "improve the quality of life for
all of Delhi's residents".

Today *Karthik Rao Cavale*, researcher at Rutgers University, counters that
because of the great many externalities affecting the transport market,
state intervention will always be required to manage both supply and demand
of public transport, and the welfare of pedestrians (who are rarely asked to
pay for using the footpath)!
