Encourage Public Transport

My idea is to invest heavily in RTC as far as AP is concerned.Procure new buses which are on par with emission norms.(reason few busses even in cities release more visible exaust than an auto).Give subsidized petrol/diesel to this corporation so that it can reduce charges to its passengers.This way we can encourage public transport.More than the subsidy, today most of the people choose other modes of transport not because they are lavish spenders but because they don't get a convenient public transport facility.This is the reason why most of the corporates maintain their own transport facilities to offices be hiring RTC or Private buses. RTC should work on the ways(govt should fund this) to improve convenience to public.This would definitely bring profit to RTC and reduce traffic,reduce carbon emissions,relives public from the strain of driving their cars/motorcycles in busy roads,improves the work productivity,improves mental conditions and lifestyle,improves their savings,reduces the fuel consumption of the state etc.Not one but many cumulative positive effects.May be this is applicable only to cities and towns but these are the only areas which are causing this biological imbalance.

  1. The state budget should have done something in this regard.
