I wonder why India doesn’t have more public transport. Is it just too spread sparsely populated? Too much influence from the auto-lobby and western powers? Corruption?
More public transport could reduce road deaths by reducing traffic and getting people off of motorised two-wheelers.
Helmets are important. But I do wonder if this approach is going to lead to unjustified anger and violence against filling station employees simply for complying with the law and refusing fuel (as if it’s even their choice)
Fuel? I’m honestly surprised two-wheelers in India haven’t been completely been overtaken by electrics, at least outside of the modern traffic infrastructure of Mumbai. I’ve only been there a few times but so much of what I saw (mostly in Thiruvananthapuram) was urban design where the high speed and power of a motorbike wouldn’t be very useful (at least as a solo rider not carrying a heavy load like a passenger or anything) - slow, cramped, chaotic traffic on dusty zig-zagging roads.
What does this have to do with cars?
both are vehicles that run on roads and use fuel, i find it kind of bigoted that you exclude other minority vehicles
