Traffic nightmare

The last time I was in India, I was shocked with the amount of traffic in Chennai. I don't think it is any different in any other major city in India . If we don't do anything about it, we will have a traffic nightmare. Don't even get me started on pollution. Has the govt. even given a thought to this ? What have they done so for? What can be done ?

We are have a growing problem . Population growth is a big factor but more than that movement on people from villages and town to the major cities worsens the situation. If this needs to change, growth needs to be distributed across the country. Improve the public transportation system so much that people start to pick that compared to their own vehicles. Let the buses have their own lanes which will enable them to handle the traffic system better. This advantage will go a long way in people switching to the public transportation system.
