"Connected, well-networked public transport is an ideal alternative. However, Indian cities have traditionally viewed it as and designed it for people who cannot afford private vehicles. As a result, the quality of mass transit is often poor and any effort to upgrade is limited by the concerns of affordability"

A big concern with public transport is that it is slow, thanks to the bulky vehicle size that makes it difficult to negotiate traffic

We don't have access to information regarding that, When will the bus arrive? How long do I to wait? Will it be crowed? Is it safe? are the first questions that comes to my mind.
