most of the time highly populated cities follow few common things : excellent public transport. Now we are trying to push for bus services but when we are planning from zero all this populated cities need trains . more circular ring roads. May be if we create more transprancy at municipalty level we can create more push towards bus service atleast. Talking about traffic rules and regulations forget that it's too difficult for india. But we can put Road name and sign symbols on each street

For bus travellers, safety is in the hands of people "Mobile phone" itself now. Just that WIFI Hotspots are needed all across the city, which will enable people to be connected always. When they are connected they can instantly update the status of what's happening, in addition to this in the bus we can install cameras and emergency button which will alert the nearest police station.

My idea is that facilities of car (wiFi, AC, frequency and cleanliness) should be made available in bus which will shift people to move to public transport. Public transport should be maintained well also this solution is for small radius of 30 KMS. If this is accepted by the people then we can make it happen for longer distance. We should start explaining to the children in school itself about the advantages of public transport so they take a wise decision for mode of transport.

I would want a cycle lane to be in all the roads with cycle parking all across city centres,offices, bus stations and railway stations. This will reduce carbon emissions, save fuel as well as make people healthy.Technology is needed only for monitoring the safety and signals for bicycle riders.

Govt can bulk purchase solar/elec powered cars which have been developed by our IIT's or for that matter the Mahindra Reva, provide for charging points frequently, advertise the vacancy for driver's post who can work on govt payroll till the time they recover cost of car. These cars can then be used for mass transportation or public use. In this way we can achieve 3 of Govt of India's objectives :- 1) Make in India of vehicles. 2) Job Creation 3) Emission control of CO2 #MeraSmartCityIndia

Answer 1 – 15 minutes time slots for two wheelers, cars, buses with defined minimum speed for each during rush hours. Answer 2 – It is easy mathematics using permutation and combination depending on traffic size and road. Answer 3 – An innovative technology that can help in increase the number of buses (bus frequency) based on the seat occupancy of a running bus. Example: - If scheduled bus at 10:00 a.m. shows 90% seat occupancy at first stop then an additional bus can be immediately sent.

Any smart solution in present ecosystem needs to encompass technologies like GPS, Wifi, accessible through mobile (applications), has capability to read and share data on real-time basis etc. My solution makes an attempt by using these technologies along with relevant others like motions sensors to deliver a cost-effective yet compatible solution.
