About The Book : There is more to Transport than cars, flyovers, highways and expressways. This book argues that cars can coexist peacefully with pedestrians, cyclists and other road users with better social and traffic planning and Political will. There should be true Democracy on roads. In several Western Countries they are widening footpaths, providing more space for pedestrians and cyclists. So we have less congestion and pollution, we save Money and fuel and space. This is perhaps the only book of its kind in India, arguing for a clean, Green and humane transport.
