A Real Problem awaits Attension

As we praise the efforts of Tata's nano and believe that
It is a great boon for the middle class and almost all of us can have a car now and
it will not remain a dream anymore. But the Indian scenario is far more complicated and the advent of one car cannot change it. The nano's success lies not only in its technology and the methods used, but also in making people like me to analyze how common people travel from one place to another in India..From the analysis

India has 12 million cars,
50 million two-wheelers and
6 million trucks and buses
We have a population of 1000 million..!

India has a whooping 55% of its population in the working age (didn’t get the stats for actual working population), Assuming these are the people who has to travel much and often, so a total of at least 400 to 500 million people comes in these catagory...

If the calculations are done sensibly

100 million people travel by their self owned vehicles and the remaining 400 million people has to use public transport daily, no wonder the town buses and trains in the metros are filled with people and not having space to get air for breathing ..

This violent surge in the use of public transport, huge crowds in buses has been a real problem threatening for a number years now..Having used public transport till now, I myself know how difficult it is to travel in peak hours to our destination amidst all the tensions and Crowd…

So, We Indians can be proud of the nano,but taking nothing away from its technical brilliance and the efforts of Mr.Ratan Tata and his team ,the bitter truth is, it cannot be and was never created for being a part of the solution..It is high time that the government put this public transportation system into a serious thinking process and come with a solution so that it satisfies the people who cant afford to own even a bike…(How can they think of Nano?)
A fact:
A 6 million people use the trains in Mumbai alone daily (largest number in the world)..
