It's a shame that Indian cities aren't designing themselves around public transport. Road projects ensure a continuous under the table paycheck, unlike public transport....so roads are easier to fund. But, they really aren't the answer.
India is perfectly structured for public transport. High density, massive village -> city migration, a primarily lower-middle class population and some of the worst pollution on Earth .
Mumbai and Delhi are 2 cities that are now entirely dependent on public transport. Many rich people in Mumbai take the local train, because of it being faster and more reliable than roads during peak times.
Despite the public demand for it, it is very hard to now retroactively construct public transportation infrastructure in Mumbai.
