[sustran] Re: Cycle Rickshaw Revolution in Cricket World Cup

[Kanthi Kannan]

Thanks, Navdeep.

 

Dear all from the ADB and the Climate Change Group

 

As Navdeep has so clearly stated, in cities that have narrow streets this
will work. 

 

So in places like Hyderabad, where the colony roads are indeed narrow, the
Rickshaw concept will work

 

Earlier in Hyderabad, we did have a rickshaw but it was very different from
this one. One it was very difficult to get on to it and secondly it was very
narrow.

 

So can we take this up and do something for our cities?

 

Thanks

 

Kanthi

Yes, indeed, 

 

after Punjab and Haryana High court notification, both the state governments
are promoting the same through their local body municipal department,
further Punjab Tourism is also promoting the same.

In Haryana now its compulsory, Chandigarh UT has to take-up the matter.
Rickshaw is more suitable para transit mode of transportation for the
traditional cities having narrow street designs. People across the country
has started working on it.
