No smooth run for bus lane trial

The 15km dedicated bus corridor in New Delhi has evoked a public outrage, with the man in the street demanding that it be abandoned even before it has a chance of a fair trial.

LIKE any other growing city in the world, Delhi, the Indian capital, has its share of major problems. Water and electricity supplies are almost always erratic, crime graph perennially on the rise and, of course, living conditions constantly under pressure, only partly due to the influx of migrants from other parts of the country.
