An excellent article. The link is given below:



“ A developed country is not one where the poor own cars. It is one where
the rich use public transport.”

There is now a global consensus that building more roads does not solve a
city’s traffic congestion<http://www.fastcoexist.com/1678087/building-more-roads-only-causes-more-traffic>.
Richard Moe of the US National Trust for Historic Preservation likens it to
trying to cure obesity by loosening your
belt<http://www.prisonerofagenda.com/urban_planning/playing_games_with_our_cities.php>;
and Enrique Peñalosa, the former Mayor of Bogotá said that trying to solve
traffic problems by building more roads is like putting out a fire with
gasoline<http://thecityfix.com/blog/building-more-roads-does-not-ease-congestion/>
