Venkaiah Naidu bats
for integrated transport system for easing congestion
Economic
Times
Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today highlighted the need for an
integrated transport system comprising rail network, road and inland
waterways to address the problem of traffic congestion and last-mile
connectivity in cities. These various transport systems should be connected
as part of a symbiotic model, Naidu said at a book release function here,
adding that he would hold a meeting with the Railway, Road Transport and
Shipping ministers to examine the possibility of creating integrated
transport systems, wherever possible, in different parts of the country. The
book, 'Reforming Urban Transport in India -- Issues and Best Practices', is
authored by former UD Secretary M Ramachandran and deals with the different
aspects of urban transport. Naidu said that a multi-pronged strategy should
be adopted to resolve the issues of traffic congestion and pollution in urban
areas.
