Zoho Co-Founder Calls for India to Improve Public Transport Like Singapore's
Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu has sparked a conversation about India's public transport infrastructure. In a recent post on X, Vembu highlighted the density of Indian cities, using Mumbai as an example, and called for improvements to match Singapore's successful public transport system.
Vembu's comments, which received over 170,000 views, were a response to a post by BJP leader Tejasvi Surya. Vembu pointed out that Indian cities like Mumbai, with about 20.5 million residents, are denser than Singapore. Despite this, Singapore's public transport infrastructure is more advanced, indicating a need for improvement in India.
Vembu suggested that India could learn from Singapore's Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system. This system regulates private vehicle ownership, which could help manage traffic congestion in dense Indian cities.
Sridhar Vembu's comments have brought attention to the need for improved public transport infrastructure in India's dense cities. By learning from Singapore's successful COE system, India could potentially ease traffic congestion and promote more efficient public transport.
