Scooters, bikes are up; cars down

I don't claim to be a futurologist, but as part of a citizen of a metropolitan city like Mumbai I certainly give my thumbs up to two wheelers over four wheelers. It is so clear that there is no further room within the city for 4 wheelers. While a week back I was trying to cross the main road, I had to wait for a long time before crossing it. Even the cars there couldn't find place to steer themselves in such a high density road.

The main road is so full of them there seems to be a dearth of common sense about why people still do buy cars. It provides good privacy when on the road. That can be only one reason. Bikes are not meant for long distance travel. A half an hour ride to a destination is for bikes and scooters but anything longer than that people would prefer car. The whole burden of traffic jam falls on the driver. He is just unable to steer in such a high traffic. Especially if the passengers sitting behind are expecting 'Street Hawk speed' from him.

I may be wrong, but future commutation will be on bikes and scooters. They are hassle free and easily manueverable. So scooters, bikes are up; cars down.
