Fuel price hike - and its possible alternatives for Trichy

The sky rocketing oil, gas and petrol prices bother us so much, and this is the high time for each and every individual to search for an alternative...

For reducing the petrol usage, the general suggestions for Public are:
1. Using public transport - more than ever.
The chance for this plan is only 50%. Since in each and every route, we dont hav that much public transports(either bus, train, share auto or mini buses.) That too in the tier III city like Trichy, it is highly impossible only.

2. Using bicycle for commuting.
For a long distance route, it may not be possible. But riding bicycle 4 some distance like up to bustop and then catching up the public transport vehicle is somewhat possible. (ore kalula rendu maanga. Excercise um achu, Petrol saving um achu...) Motor bikes can also be used in the same passion. Using bicycles for short distances like, to near by kiranas or maligai kadai or shops, to nearby places is highly possible.

3. Carpooling
In the vehicle sharing method - finding the apt partners along the same route as ours will be a tiresome process, as this is a new one to our Indian Community.

Some of the car pooling websites available are:

Even though trichy - alias - trichirappalli - alias - tiruchi is not listed in these websites, u can try with ur bus stop friends and peers. Maintaining the time line, cooperating with others - on daily basis is highly neee.....eeeded for this. We can just give a try for this . Or at least, we can take up the car or bike only when all the seats are fully packed up, ...

For these to happen or possible, releasing more(at least 5 times more) buses (in every route) , setting up more bike and two wheeler stands in the cities and promoting the community (cycle or bike) programs, enforcing strict laws for carpooling , providing seperate lanes for bicycles in the roads are much needed from the authorities/ government side.
