mmh general question but tk mine as an imp answer. Public transport as we all knw is in hands of Govt how to improve its upto them so we cant do much in that. But there are certain pvt companies which r trying to make life better for public commuters. If you r awarre of carpooling system which is not only working towards reducing traffic from the road but also into providing commuters a good way to travel. Check out http://www.indimoto.com for instance, they have a nice carpool section where you can not only post your carpool ad but also search a carpool partner with their convenient search method so get going man & spread the word.

Answer 3

We should move towards building systems that address the pollution aspect too... For example, building extensive network of electric rail systems is a good solution. It would work for us from the population aspect as well. Most of our cities are not well-planned so laying wider roads is not an option there. We could go for 4 lane roads that connect inter-states and inter-cities.

Install monorails alongside present freeways, which are excellent locations.
The right of way is already established which means less disruption, and less work.
