ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS TO OVERCOME TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS PLANNING AND LOCATING THE INDIVIDUALS AND THE ORGANISATONS WHERE THEY WORK TO BE WITHIN A DISTANCE 4 TO 5 KMS.

In order to curtail traffic issues and adversities, we need to work not only at governmental levels, but also at individual levels.
* Every year the loss of passenger mandays is estimated as 700,000 years
* Every year 120,000 lives can be saved
How to save them: (Courtesy to Er. C J Johnson MIE - PPT on Traffic Congestion)
- * Infrastructure development
- * Express highways to be built.
- * Private participation in road development.
- * Low budget development of junctions.
- * Widening of busy roads.
- * More public transport systems.
- * Develop waterways wherever possible.
- * Expand Railway network.
- * Implement Metro Rails in Metros and big cities.
- * Promote Suburban railways.
Beyond all these,
--> Convenience and cosmos kind of shops and entertainment places shall be declared open at cheaper price during non-peak office hours. In Coimbatore there are some textile shops giving more or less 50% of offers on textile purchases during 6 am to 9 am. such novel ideas shall be encouraged.
--> Employers and employees should be free to offer / choose flext-time / flexi-projects not compromising on further benefits. Recent initiative of such kind are:
1) SBIs 2-year sabbatical for women employees
2) ICICIs work-from-home options for women upto a year
All those will also help reducing traffic and save not only money, but also time, mental health and lives of many innocents.

Dear Prof. Virendraji, whatever Prof. Varunji has mentioned are quite true........infact,
1) Delhi Government has not added any substantial numbers to the fleet of public DTC buses, as promised at the end of first phase in January. People who are used to cars, do not find it convenient to reach their destinations in time, and buses do not help in covering the last mile distance, specially when the offices are widely dispersed and spread out in Delhi and NCR region.
2)There has been also a rise in the sale of second hand cars, which are not so old.
3)In the 2nd phase, the congestion on road did not appear less, as was the case in the first phase.
4)They have increased some coaches to each of the Metro rail trips and have increased their frequency in peak hours; however, the increase in commuters far outweigh that arrangement and metro travel is a nightmare. One must visit to experience that; for example Rajiv Chowk (Connaught Place) station. The maintenance aspect is a matter of concern; there has been some frequent breakdowns too.The huge crowd has also become a potential soft target for security risks too.
5) They have allowed CNG fitted cars to operate on all days; CNG registration has increased, however CNG supply pump station remain few with limited supply capacity per day as in earlier situation. As a result , one has to wait for a long time in the queue to get the tank filled. There has been no planning from the government side in this regard.
5)Presently, Delhi Government is trying to explain the case for the diesel taxis like Ola and Uber etc in the Supreme court for stopping them in a phased manner, rather than the abrupt closure after one extension; the Honorable Court has asked the local government to give them a plan immediately. Therefore, one can guess that angle too!
6)The other day, I saw a mail by Krishan Khanna Sahab, who has wide and long experience in city planning; his advise for careful and professional urban planning is the right call of the hour!

Thanks Varunji for sharing your experience and what people are saying is logical too except perhaps statement being hand in glove with different stake holders may be little exaggerated .

Dear Virendraji
I visit Delhi regularly for office work, around once in a month and meet there a large number of persons. During my discussions with them on Odd/Even formula, I have been told the following :
- People do not like to be inconvenienced and therefore, most persons are going for the purchase of second car. This is going to create further issues on already aggravated car parking problem in the various colonies of Delhi, where often there are quarrels over this issue. Also visitors to the colony residents find it difficult to get parking place. There is also a talk of a deal with car manufacturers to liquidate their huge stocks.
- Those who have car with even number, will naturally go for odd number for their new car and vice-versa. This is often not possible and hence the people bribe RTO officials to get the odd or even number, as required. This is increasing the corruption.
- People are per force constrained to take the private taxis like Ola, Uber, etc. There is talk of a deal with them to increase their utilisation, market share and turnover.
- When the odd-even formula is not in operation, there is likelihood of more cars being on the roads, which is in fact going to increase the traffic jams on the roads.
- Most of the pollution in Delhi is due to trucks, lorries, luggage carriers, etc. on which there is no restrictions because of nexus with the transporters. Therefore, not surprisingly there is no reduction in the pollution levels of Delhi when odd-even formula is operational.
- Now the Supreme Court directive for no diesel taxis allowed is going to further accentuate the people's problems since many middle class persons had purchased diesel cars to ply under Ola and/or Uber, to supplement their family incomes in view of ever increasingly cost of living. Disallowing diesel taxis is, of course, not going to solve the pollution problem since it is primarily due to trucks, lorries, luggage carriers, etc.
Therefore, what Prof. DPS Verma has said is substantially correct.
Let me clarify that the above is based on what I have been told by a number of persons. I have no affiliation with any political party. In fact, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been a dear friend of mine for over two decades. We have met often and shared dais when he was not so well known. However, as a matter of principles, I do not mix personal and professional matters.
Thanks and best regards

I would normally not like to criticize any individual but it is clear from last posts that Mr. Stephen Narayan doesn't leave any opportunity to criticize the new government and praise other parties hence I would take his opinion on Odd/Even formula with a pinch of salt. Other fellow member DPS verma has categorically stated that Odd/Even formula has not worked in Delhi.
