Wrong Idea

Surf blogs a bit to see what there is about Chennai, and you come across something like this. Someone has suggested the banning of autorickshaws in Chennai because they are a traffic nuisance.

This is exactly the sentiment that has driven Chennai's traffic insane. People imagine that if we sell more cars and two-wheelers (which you would have to completely depend on if autorickshaws were off the scene) the road scenario will get better! Nothing can be farther from the truth. The sensible thing to do would be to ensure that autorickshaws operate safely and abide by the law, and to increase the number of buses.

Fellow blogger Vasudevan Deepak Kumar is totally out of depth here.
