News headlines these days are dominated by the run-away growth numbers of India and China. Car sales in India are just zooming forward. This is highly unfortunate and tragic. Given the density of the population, the size of the urban areas, the distance people travel between work and home, the severe shortage of space, and the abysmal air and water quality, mass transit is a far superior alternative. It is true that the sector is employing people, but at what cost? Better solutions can and should be found. In many cases, walking is a faster, easier, cheaper and healthier solution.
