Experts say the controversy over the bus corridor reflects class divisions
in the Indian society

An interesting article on the recent controversy about Delhi BRT and
efforts by the misguided pro-auto vehicle interests to get it shut down.
(Thank you Dr Uday Kulkarni for the forward)


*"Car owners are the creators of wealth. Do you realise that they get

*"Cars use more space; crowd the road and move far fewer people. The
problem is that people do not matter in our cities; cars do. In this
situation, BRT becomes the hate symbol while people waste time in traffic
jams," Ms Narayan wrote in the latest issue of Down to Earth magazine.*
