Non polluting transport:
Plan for nonpolluting public transport. Introduce CNG buses or fuel cell or solar buses. The city should have air conditioned bus services also. New Town should introduce smart cards also.

There should be provision for multi-modal transport with unified ticket or smart cards for bus, rail and ITS. There should be a dedicated cell or unified authority for coordinating the same.
