Shreya Gadepalli comes back on the show to clearly explain how congestion pricing or road pricing works, dispel the myths, how parking management and the bus can be an integral part of managing throughput on our roads. We talk bus and the future of road transport corporations as well.

Ever complained how bad our cities are? How bad your commute is? You’ll get to hear from people who are working to solve these problems in their own way. 

This is your weekly soapbox for Urban Sustainability with Sathya Sankaran
