Hafta #544 was great, especially the chat on infrastructure. India is going the American way, focusing on flashy highways, roads, and bridges instead of improving railways and smart public transit. Metros are being built, but often in smaller cities where they’re not needed, while buses and walkability are ignored. In Mumbai, metro fares are high, and funding for cheap BEST buses is being cut. Cities like Mexico City offer better models with affordable metro, bus rapid transit, and bike-share systems. India, sadly, seems to be making transit harder for common people.
