Prefixing left- this and right- that to anything detracts from focusing on it.

You'd be even more shocked that left-wing politicos, who were in power thrice as long, were equally bad and created the mess that has to be managed.

The votes on the other 2 points will tell whether your mentioning Singapore was "engagement" to begin with.

Where do you think I live! I wrote about lived experience, maybe you didn't notice that OP just made a blanket statement that neither matched my experience nor is itself experience.

This sounds like armchair moaning. How would you have set up infrastructure ahead of time to have handled that situation?

Respond with an example.

Are there large regions with good population density and existing land use that have good roads designed around those existing holdings, unlike what is done in UP, India?

Upvote if you agree.

And you think that elevated road not useful to the layman taking up space is OK? And the problem is the simple design of the road below, which people use uneventfully everyday with common sense at Indian speeds?

Upvote if you agree.

So, you think that, even when roads and transport policies are co-designed on a clean slate like in Singapore, transport policies wouldn't have influenced road design? When even something as simple as a bus lane has been known to work?

Some guy brings up Singapore, I talk about Singapore, and the guy says it is not on topic.

Apparently, road design has nothing to do with whether public transport is involved or not and in what form.

That's the Internet.

To be fair, buses don't solve last-mile situations like this one, unless you expect the route to become walkable by reduction in car numbers. Even then, I wouldn't begrudge the busy housewife avoiding a long walk with a kid in tow.

Whoa! Cool it.

The mandate isn't from "government". Apparently, the government failed to do much about pollution, so a regulatory body was set up by the courts, which body did some good things (ban diesels) but also some hamhanded things like judge only based on technology age rather than the odometer. Throwing away a ton of steel and manufacturing that has had minimal utilization isn't going to help any.

You should've dissed the people who made scrapping the dedicated bus lane an election issue some years ago. I guess that never made it to the newspapers, and hence wasn't discussed online either.

There are intrepids everywhere! But I agree, this seems like too busy a place to be intrepid at.
