City roads are unmotorable during peak hours, thanks to the long queues of single passenger cars, vehicle parking on road sides, impatient bus commuters standing on the roads and what not!! As responsible citizens, we can contribute our share to reduce the congestion and thus free the arterial roads.
Here are some tips.
Use public transport system as far as possible.
Share autos and there by reduce the number of vehicles on road
Use bus waiting sheds wherever possible rather than standing on roads waiting for bus
Don't park cars and jeeps on busy road sides. There is always a less busy corner which only a few steps away.
If you happen to be the passenger of a bus that stops on the middle of the road at bus stops, ask the driver to park at bays. Public voice is the loudest and the most powerful.
Most important: share these ideas with as many as possible
I can keep my hand over my heart and say that I follow all these when on road.
