Making state transport a profitable venture
The major source of income for railways is not the passenger trains but the freight trains..Similarly the state transport carries passengers and the income of state transport can be increased if it adds goods carrying vehicles to their fleet..
I travelled from hyderabad to akola recently ..The top of a private passenger bus was laden with goods not from the passengers but had commercials aspects attached to it..It was like a mini truck and the bus owners who has the licence to operate passenger services, do goods transport on the bus top to the maximum extent possible..
There is a lot of scope in the freight operations by the state owned transport service..This can be implemented in BJP ruled states..
---The prices of commodities would come down as there would be a competition to the private players.
---This would make the state transport a profitable venture and the money earned could be utilised for the welfare of people..
--This would also reduce the overloading of lorries and would increase the road life..
--Fatal accidents can be avoided..
It requires a quick positive decision in this regard... more
