As commonly experienced by any road user of Delhi/Bangalore/Hyderabad or any metros, private cars are causing traffic congestion by inefficiently using the limited road space - the cars are typically carrying only one to two commuters against a capacity of 5 or more (a low 20 to 40% capacity utilization). The present scheme however treats the available spare capacity in cars as an opportunity to provide a transport solution - whereby 3-4 Commuter, instead of traveling in separate cars, accommodate themselves in one car, especially during peak hours. In other words, the scheme aims to increase the capacity utilization (also called load factor) of cars to 60-80% and in the process take at least 50 % cars off the road. A 50 % reduction in number of cars plying on roads during peak hours, would decongest roads, increase traffic speed, and cut down fuel consumption by more than 50 per cent. And yes, they do their bit for the environment by saving on fuel emissions.
