Really worth points made. I would like to add something more to it: The author of the articles fails to consider the laziness and unwillingness on the part of the government in providing a better transportation system. This article takes a pretty leftist outlook while considering taxing car owners at large. if some people out there and work hard to earn that extra buck, he should have the freedom to even spend it. Another point that i heard from the CEO of VW in India was that the Government hasnt done enough to introduce more greener and more effecient fuels. Lastly, its high time that the Government takes more stringent measures in defining the minimum fuel efficiency of cars for each segment.
Sorry, my friend here we are not concerned with money, there is a much larger issue to cater to. people might even pay 10 odd thousand rupees more for driving their cars but on the same it wont help in reducing the numner of vehicles on the roads considering the pay packages that are there right now in the corporate world.
Its high time we stop running away from the problem and find a feasible and appropriate solution to hit the problem at the grass root level.
