CRUCIAL meeting to get to, and stuck in a traffic jam? That is when you realize how much mobility matters. If in a non-airconditioned bus or in an autorickshaw, the smell of noxious exhaust fumes reinforces the menacing message of the pollution havoc wrought by motorized vehicles in our cities. Despite the compulsory use of CNG by public vehicles in Delhi, pollution is still at dangerous, health-affecting levels. In many other cities, it is possibly greater, made worse by the adulteration of fuel with cheaper kerosene.
Poor traffic management, driver indiscipline, and lack of enforcement contribute to jams. . .
