    Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds make up 50-70% of vehicles in Indian cities like Hyderabad, where 70-80% of families own a motor vehicle. Lower middle class households and college students from middle class families can now afford motorized two-wheelers, costing around Rs. 15,000-20,000 per month. This high level of vehicle ownership has led to increased pollution and congestion in urban areas. Public transportation must be significantly improved to be competitive with personal vehicles in terms of cost, convenience, and service to attract people away from personal motorized transport given limited land resources.

    Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds comprise 50-70 per cent of the motor vehicle fleet in Indian cities.

    In
    a city like Hyderabad approximately 70-80 per cent of families own a motor vehicle. This means that
    motorized two-wheeler ownership has become possible for the main wage earner of lower middle class
    households and college students belonging to middle class families. A family earning about Rs. 15000-
    20000 per month can own a motorized two-wheeler. This is a new development in urban living leading
    to high pollution and congestion. With such high levels of vehicle ownership it will be very difficult to
    attract people to public transport unless the latter is made very convenient, cost effective, and offers a
    level of service comparable to personalized modes of transport in terms of not just comfort but also in
    relation to point to point access. Very important point is we have limited land use, keep in mind all the
    problems and constraints.
    How to implement or adopt advanced technologies for sustainable transportation for Indian
    cities?

    To answer the question it is very important to understand how
