India's rapidly growing population has made transportation systems unable to effectively keep up with demand, losing the country untold man hours and wasting money.

Transportation has become life force in this century. Cities couldn't exist without transportation forms. It would be a rare day when you would not use some form of transportation. Transportation has been a leading step in development, emerging economies, and improving quality of human life. But is current transportation system development moving in the right direction? Developing nations such as India, China, and Brazil are current targets for automotive manufacturers. But do existing infrastructure and transportation systems have the capacity to support their ever-increasing population? Can increasing fuel prices, heavy imports, and increasing fuel consumption support the economic condition of these countries? Could developing roads and increasing the amount of passenger cars solve the problem?
