Throw away those goddamn cars and bikes! If you dont want to, sell them off for a cheap price. If you cant do that, then pump out the petrol, pour it over the vehicle and torch it!
Hyderabad is no more a place where you can start at some time and expect to reach the destination at the desired time. Traffic jams are commonplace. They have become a part of life for a Hyderabadi.
I think, even if the RTA or some other agency implement new traffic management plans, the traffic problem will definitely spiral out of control. MMTS has been functional for a good amount of time now but it didnt make an impact. Skybus might come to Hyderabad in two years time, with a 10 Km. line from Mehdipatnam to Uppal. But at the rate of increase of population, Skybus might still not be enough.
I have a message for budding engineers and entrepreneurs: channel all your creative energies into creating an Air Traffic System. Envisage a situation in which personal aircraft will be a common means of transport for people in the city. This might sound outrageous but hey, I'm NOT joking. I'm really NOT joking! Air Traffic is one of only a few solutions for the city's traffic woes.
It might be early but for me, the time has come to start converting another fictional idea into reality. The sooner the better.

Subway/Tube/Tunnel?
Well, maybe, but I read it in the papers today that Skybus is more secure and cheaper than an underground system.
Moreover, Hyderabad already has a rainwater problem. I cant even imagine underground stations being flooded everytime it rains.

MMTS and Skybus are more or less versions of conveyor systems. I mean that is how a conveyor system would look if it were to carry people in it.
Moreover, if you can build some conveyor system which can allow you to get down anywhere you like, say like in a car or in a personal aircraft, then I’ll call you the Superman of Engineering.

Thank you. Work on Skybus has already been started by the present government. It’s going to be operational by two years if everything goes well.
By the way, if you got the balls, then use your true name.
