How to reduce crude oil dependence -Let's discuss as it looks inevitable

1- most of the time we see   single person in car or along with driver even  for drive of  25/50 km . more sharing can be planned here.

2- ethanol blending should be increased from 5 % to 20 %.

3 - public transports to be made more efficient.

4- more short cut walking overhead bridges from rly stn to main business centre like , BSE, NSE ,SEEPZ ,  IT park, mantralaya, RBI   etc.

5- more short cut sea transport .

6- more overhead trains on existing rail tracks.

7- strict quality norms for making or repairing of roads through third party inspections in the city or highways



1 During week days we should do ODD and EVEN system
On Monday Wednesday all vehicle on road should have total in ODD numbered on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday  it should be EVEN Numbers.

Exception School Bus Ambulance etc etc

2 Two wheelers should be for all practical purpose. No restriction on odd/even numbers for two  wheels vehicles.

3 Give only 100 Lits of Petrol per vehicle/month at  regular rate and if increases charge 25%more for petrol to the consumer.

4 To charge 10 % more for Petrol/Diesel from  all vehicles branded as SEDAN or SUV  etc

1. Have 2 to 3 days of working by encouraging 'office at home'
concept. This can now be achieved for many sectors due to IT as many
officials can function at home, atleast for some days.

2. Encouraging mass transport systems. Discourage single travel by
four wheeler. This can be achieved by forming car pools etc. Business
houses, Companies can encourage their employess for this....by giving
some relaxation in timings

3. Blend more bio fuel....make it mandatory. Brazil is going upto 50%
ethanol blending

4. Have more battery operated vehicles in close circuits. For
instance, there can be battery operated public transport vehicles from
VT to Churchgate or in the outer circle of Cannaught Place, etc.

5. Scrap old ages vehicles....help them to upgrade to new ones by
giving loans etc. Mumbai....still old, junk Feats functioning at
horrifying fuel efficieny

6. Cut Bureaucracy in ongoing mass transport systems e.g. Bangalore
Metro. The ammount of clearances requried from local bodies will not
let the metro see light of the day in this dying city. Mr Sridharan
ensured that he does not have to go to NDMC for building Delhi Metro.
It is a reality now.

7. Go for more IT......issue ration card, gas connection, etc. on
line. Identify sectors where physical presence is mandatory and take
measures to reduce them.
