I agree with Dinesh Mohan in the Hindu. Its not about all the fancy projects ike Signal free roads, under/overpasses, Metro, Bus or even the Commuter Rail. Any transport starts with having safe, navigable, well lit surface streets for NMT & MT. If we cant do this then everything else is moot.

Ramesh Ramanathan is also member in this and this was constituted by Ministry of Urban Development Department.
Unfortunately Suburban Rail / Commuter Rail gets least preference.
