Considering Delhi's traffic situation, I am surprized so few people die every year on delhi's roads.

For whatever reason Dixit wants to ban Bluelines, once again, let me say that let the people decide. Public services must be decided by public demand and now by politicians who never have to use any public service.

Public outrage!

If we allow the public to decide on the laws, or what should be done or what should not be done, and allow interference for every decision making process, then I am pretty sure that most of the pulic will be casting a vote every minute. Its not that easy to do that since that will involve a huge amount of government machinery. Its not just about the bluelines. There are a million problems, like water shortage, water distribution, water payments, water late payments, irrigation bylaws, irrigation permisions, water logging, yamuna waters, yamuna cleaning, etc. etc. Thats just a part of the irrigation department. Now think about tens of other departments and their hundreds of problems. Now if we involve the public at every step, then you can imagine that public will be just casting tens of votes everyday. Nowhere in the world can such things be acceptable.

We vote and choose our legislators, and if they make a fault, then we should blame ourselves not them. Afterall, we have a tendency to forgive and forget!

Coming back to the thread! Kicking blue lines out of service is not the only solution. Accidental compensation should be increased so much that will enable the contractors to hire professional drivers. Also the fares should be increased nominally so that the cotractor keeps phasing out older buses and bringing in new one from time and again.

Are not politicians decided by public? We elect them, so is not it our desicion? Be realistic, you cannot conduct poll for each and everything, everyday.

Missing the root Cause

Dear Members,

It is true that we elect our politicians/law makers and hence need to respect what they decide in fulfilling their official obligations.

The root cause may not be the Blue Line service itself. What I felt that it is our licensing procedures and the law enforcement that needs to be shaken up. I had noticed during my stay in India (and that has been major part of my life) that any one who does not fit any where can become a Truck or Bus Driver. There is nothing wrong in that too, however the way driving licenses are obtained in India that itself is questionable.

Let us have a proper written test of the driving rules, a proper eye examination and a proper practical test before issuing the licenses. Then there must be a proper training schedule by the Transportation companies like Blue Line, before they can put a particual driver behind the wheel.

The next step is to prevent unauthorized traffice on the main roads. We can tell all the cows and buffellows to stay away from the roads. May be commercial traffic could be diverted through specific routes. (Trucks and tractors trollies). Let there be proper annual inspection of the vehicles to certify their roadworthiness.

And then there must be a law enforcement agency that ensures the implementation of traffic rules in letter and spirit.

If we can achieve that then only we can have a permanent solution. Shiela Aunty and Shoola uncle then have easy way to govern.
