Use green transports to ease traffic jams

Why is the new minister so concerned about traffic jams, just like his predecessors, when the solution is simple and staring him in the face? All that is required is strict implementation of existing traffic laws. This is my 90th letter on the subject in the last four years containing the full blue print. Unfortunately, neither the government nor the authorities have the will to implement their own laws which are normal in most metropolitan cities.
The new battery powered and now the solar powered rickshaws (DS, B3, 26 January) offer an attractive alternative to the problems of mass urban transportation for the middle classes. They are 'green', quiet, cheap, comfortable and non air or noise polluters.
Mass produced they can replace the polluting Gas Guzzling Monstrosities (GGMs) and the arrogant CNGs and in time even the pedal rickshaws. The only ones who are likely to 'suffer' are the owners of GGMs with big egos.
