ಮೈಸೂರು - ವಾರಣಾಸಿ ಎಕ್ಸ್‌ಪ್ರೆಸ್: ಕಾವೇರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಗಂಗಾ ನದಿಗಳ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಸೇತುವೆ - Vishwanath Joshi

I've heard of this light rail. I think it is a good idea since it will serve public on one of the routes that has the worst traffic. Govt should start expanding metro infrastructure i fell rather than building more lanes. Adding more lanes, will only make people use the routes more, leading to more congestion. As is seen in cities like Los Angeles etc.

We Indians are first genration car users and present per capita cars is very less may be single digits and analysts feel they will be more cars on road. By 2030 they wil be 7 million cars sold per year from the present 3 millions. Moreover it's a pride for the people to own and drive for atleast next 10 to 20 yrs from now for people to get fatigue and shift to public transport. So roads are most required and there should be atleast 3 lanes in each side inspite of metro line. One more factor is the avg distance travelled per day per direction should be more then 10km ( end to end travel present time is 30-45mins) should increase so that people think of time saving and shifting to public transport. The number of such trips should increase in volume for metros to sucessful

I am actually scared for this. All the Indian cities will become gas chambers and traffic hotspots if people keep buying cars like this. This car frenzy is something we should let go. Many Europeans, East Asian cities don't use a lot of cars and use public transportation rather. We should go down the same path.
