Aspects of safety can be dealt with by: a. Having a GPS Card Facility which can be linked with AADHAR Card. This can make payment easy, convenient. b. Pre- book space in buses to make it more friendly for older people to travel. c. CCTV Monitoring of Buses which can be real time tracked by the government. d. Cashless payment using a common card for all Public Transport services so that theft can be minimised.

1.Varying stoppage time of traffic lights according to traffic intensity. CCTV s at each square shall compare the intensity from each side & decide the stop time. Heavy traffic means lesser stop & vice versa. 2. Mandating cab service for govt. employees & encouraging other employees to pool can help reduce traffic.Increasing the bus frequency during peak hours keeping reserve. 3. Starting "Women Only" bus service on all routes once every 30 minutes with "only women drivers & conductors".

Proposed multi level lift based car parking system based on concept of ferris wheel upto height of 30ft and area of 16x10 sqft that can be centralized across different areas. Promote car pooling by creating an easy app and taking adequate security measures. To promote public transport create a real time mapping app for buses. There should be small public A.C buses having high frequency and should take limited number of passengers. A smart card for all public transport.

Answer 3: Aspects of comfort can be dealt with by the following ways a. Introducing more segmentation so that the service caters to majority of the population b. Having variable charges based upon the timing of trips. This will enable that the people in the non peak hours get promoted to use public transport c. As a bus carries 10x the passengers in 1.5x the space, separate lanes exclusively for buses should ensure priority and promotion of bus users
