We blame the advent of small cars on the increasing problem of traffic congestion and pollution. The rising petrol prices
do not seem to have any effect on automobile sales. The problem is serious, but almost every person who thinks it is so prefers to consider himself the innocent victim. Who is to blame? India is not among the list of countries with the highest number of cars per person says the article yet the traffic and pollution problems call for immediate action. Policies of the government and local administrative bodies on fuel subsidies, vehicle taxes and parking have mad it so. It calls for more considerate and well thought of policies that can help solve problems faced by the common man. Well-written and thought provoking article.
