India’s cities are choking. More cars, fewer buses, and killer trains define urban life. Why does public transport fail while private vehicles thrive?
In this episode, we unpack the politics, policy biases, and regulatory nightmares behind India’s transportation crisis. From Mumbai’s tragic train deaths to the government blocking private bus innovation — this episode exposes the real reasons, and asks: Who are our cities built for?
India’s urban transport is jinxed: private cars get incentives, glamour, and political support, but buses and trains are underfunded, overcrowded, and unsafe. What would it take to make commuting in India safe, comfortable, and aspirational for all?
No hype. Just the real economics and the path forward.
