Both the metro and the skybus are capital-intensive and not as context-relevant as the HCBS. We must realize that not only is urbanization here to stay, but that it seems to be the way of the future. Urbanization makes for diversity and heterogenity in socio-economic conditions with multiple economies operating in close proximity to each other. The formal sector can keep on operating only as long as there is an informal sector for it to feed on. The latter is always larger because it serves both, the former and itself. If this is clearly recognized by our city-planners and policy-makers they would handle the challenge of urban travel and transportation with vision and empathy for all. The HCBS is the most suitable system in promoting modal shifts to a more efficient and less polluting form of transportation. Often, nearly fifty per cent of the inner city’s population lives in low income houses (slums or shanty towns). The urban transport system must cater equally to all segments of soc
