[sustran] Re: India to spend 10 billion dollars on 20, 000 new city buses!

[Todd Edelman]

Update: Was told that an articulated bus, e.g. for BRT, costs about 200k 
in Colombia, and that costs in India should be similar. So then, the 
subject should read:

"India to spend 10 billion dollars on 50,000 new buses for BRT"!!!
