Last Month, I came across the MegaBus, Chinese Transportation Innovation. Now India seems to be not that far behind. Transportation Pods are being planned in Gurgaon, Delhi.
Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has a high-tech solution that will address commuters' problems in one shot: Pod taxis. And he is serious about it.
As Gurgaon residents well know, the city roads are an optical illusion. The unbroken chain of craters and ditches that pass for roads have for long burned holes in the pockets and hearts of the residents.
But, if Hooda has his way, you could bypass the troublesome roads altogether. " Pod taxis seem to be the best way to take public transport through all the built up areas," Hooda told TOI in an exclusive interview. Clearly, the chief minister aims high.
The CM believes that these battery-operated, driverless vehicles that run on an elevated track, will begin to ply in the next few years and connect people point to point - what the government claims as "providing last mile connectivity".
