Offering robust, sustainable, safe public transport should be viewed as meeting a basic need. If seen as a profit making service, it will skew priorities and compromise on safety, service quality, and accessibility for all. No well run public transit mechanism makes a profit.

With so many thousands of commuters travelling to their places of work or education each day, companies & schools can set in place policies that keep these numbers down. After all, it is everybody's responsibility to keep our streets safe & sustainable & not just the government's.

Going car-free when travelling locally can greatly impact congestion at the city level. Why not work together with other families in your neighbourhood to go car-free? If it sounds like too much to do all day, everyday, why not start small? Consider car-free weekends. Or car-free Saturdays. Walking and cycling is better for your health, for the environment and especially for those children who are losing their freedom to play on the streets.

If our aim is to create a sustainable, healthier and #SingaraChennai we need to be able to get around without resorting to using our private vehicles. But this needs the collective efforts of citizens, the government and companies. Today, we look at what the government must do to make this possible.
