What vision ?
by Sincere Citizen on Jan 11, 2008 02:54 PM

I fail to understand the vision or logic behind the 1 Lakh car apart from just making it affordable to more Indian people.
But then why now ? why not in the 60's or 70's did they build a affordable car for common man.

Today more than cars India needs good roads , good public transport system in cities. the challenges to build a good public transport are far bigger and complex than to build a 1 lakh car.

Agreed more people should be able to have the pleasure of owning a car but not at a time when the country is seeing an explosion in car population and worst vehicle pollution.

City roads are jammed and no one is getting a better public transport but press is lauding a car ?

Where is the space for so many cars on roads ?

I think this sounds more like an ego expansion then a vision.
