Yes i appreciate this initiation taken by our PM. We need to reduce the usage of petrol/diesel in coming days as we see our imports are increasing compared to our exports rates.....The odd-even scheme which has started in Delhi for reducing traffic ..i think we could have this scheme applied in all states too. Which will reduce traffic and in turn consumption of petrol/diesel too.

People should use more of public transportation as it will save fuel as well as it will reduce pollution.Then electric cars should be used so that fuel can be saved.Government should encourage bicycle riding as it will give fitness to people and it will reduce the pollution.We should use the natural resources in such away that future generation can also use.If we didn't save means they can't use the resources and there should be sustainable development.Then solar powered vehicles should be used.

In continuation: 5. In India we do not have cycle track like other developed countries.we can develop cycle tracks at potential cycle locations e.g. IT parks to go from one place to another place.

In continuation: 3. In industries e.g. Power plants etc where plant premises is too large that there is a scope of 3-4 km or more to drive from main gate to working area,bi-cycles can be provided for inner plant use and can be kept at different points in plant. 4. In metro cities where public transport is available easily , companies can announce public transport day and employees have to submit receipt of Metro etc for entering in office and reward scheme can be arranged for employees.

There are some points which can be considered: 1. Companies can arrange a bus or mass transport vehicles instead of using individual four wheelers. 2. Employees with help of admin of company can make a plan for whole month for car pooling (Company can share details of employees residential area ,who can pool their car with other employees nearby

Hello, people on forum!! Glad to address you all. I am an MBA student of RVIM, Bangalore. Traffic problem in Bangalore is not a new thing. With increasing population shifting here because of emlpoymnent opportunities, its become hard to control the number of vehichles on roads. With rising number of vehichles, oil consumption has also increase.The alarming fatal pollution level certainly demands the need for a change. A change that is effective, and a change that is conenient for the mass. Henc
