Air quality: In 2010, air pollution-related diseases led to about 620,000 premature deaths in India.
Public transport: A bus occupies twice the road space taken by a car, but carries 40 times more passengers.
Walking and cycling: Delhi tops in daily cycling trips and is second only to Mumbai in walking trips. But are our footpaths and roads really geared towards walking and cycling?
Car restraint and parking: A car needs about 23 sq m to be comfortably parked. A poor family in Delhi gets a plot of just 18-25 sq m.
Fiscal measures: The 12th Plan working group says an estimated investment of about Rs 3,88,308 crore is needed for the transportation sector. Where will this money come from?
Para-transit: The informal para-transit sector – autos and taxis -- has a strong link with livelihood security of the poor. What is the integration plan between the formal public transport system and the para-transit sector?
