Pravin Darade, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change said that to reduce private vehicles and thus the air pollution from them, the government is making metros to improve public transport in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. Not a word was spoken about bus services in these cities... just after mentioning this about metros, he said that to improve connectivity the Mumbai Coastal Road Project, Sewri-Worli flyover and Mumbai Trans Harbour Link bridge are being made. These are road projects which will encourage and increase the number of private vehicles. ..just after mentioning this about metros, he said that to improve connectivity the Mumbai Coastal Road Project, Sewri-Worli flyover and Mumbai Trans Harbour Link bridge are being made.

By greenwashing you are fooled into thinking that somehow metros and excessive road projects are the only solutions for improving transport and that somehow bus lanes and segregated trams are not practical. False claims are used to justify and enforce these harmful, undemocratic and often unnecessary projects.
