Alright, so I'm not a regular here, I'm a Gearhead who lives in an Unfortunately car centric area. I like cars, I think they're neat, I HATE that we need them to commute.

I don't understand why cars are being banned after an arbitrary time limit. 15 years for petrol? Until year I drove a 30 year old petrol Toyota which pulled almost 50MPG on the highway, could have done better with some simple mods but I live in the mountains and needed the power for uphill.

I understand the desire to keep older more polluting vehicles off the road but arbitrarily declaring vehicles EOL because of their age is ridiculous.

Am I missing the point here? I'd appreciate some input because this feels like a bad move all around.

It's prob necessary to do something, even new ICE vehicles & new fuels are not the cleanest in India, but old ones prob really need to go, especially in a country with such pollution problems.

How to achieve that & why not boost public (city) transport instead, etc & why they decided to go this way can def be questioned - but that's in all nations & at the end something still gets done.

Haven't there been multiple cases of women getting gang raped on indian public transport?

well, it is car traffic in India, maybe in Dheli. can get quite crazy so I am not sure you are expecting them to walk there? but to be fair, not clear from the article.

Don’t forget to buy F1 tickets.
