What a pitiful situation.......

I am writing this post, just keeping in mind the situation of traffic and pollution in Pune, which I think is really pitiful. Commuting from home to workplace(which is 11km) is now becoming like everyday going on a war. There is terrible traffic on the roads and to add it all people are driving haphazardly.

But what i really feel compassionate about is that people don't have enough public transport facilities. One day while travelling to work place I saw a PMPML bus(the public transport here) in which a school boy was hanging with one hand on the last step of the bus and that too only on a single foot, even a slightest jerk could easily make his hand slip and get him caught under the wheels of the bus.

On the other hand a few men and women(mostly women) are consuming almost 10% of the city's fuel, which I think is quite a lot. More and more women in the city are carelessly opting for cars, and that too less fuel efficient cars as they don't want to compromise with the elegance(of their cars). Without proficient driving they are licensed to use four wheeler, which is constantly adding to the menace. Also no one is aware of the concept of car pooling here or may be they just don't care.

Petrol and diesel prices are sky rocketing but this hardly affects the high income group, they continue to use their luxury cars, leaving the common man to face the brunt of inflation.

It's high time now, and this should be taken seriously...........
