I was traveling on a bus from Kalpakkam to Chennai. As soon as the bus entered Thiruvanmiyur, there was a huge traffic jam. And what I observed was, large cars moving on the road with not more than 1,2 people inside them. Sitting in the bus, I day-dreamt of making a law which allows cars on main roads only if they have atleast 3 people in them during rush hours. Next few seconds I was proud of identifying a solution to one of the serious problems that India is facing.
Then came the question of what if there is substantial amount of luggage and no place for the second person to fit in. Then I added a clause to my older statement- cars will be allowed only if they carry an equivalent of 3 people or more on the main road during rush hours. Equivalence of cargo to people can be established based on some standards and statistics.
But then a very apparent loop hole in this proposition is what if people just carry some dead load on the name of luggage whenever they want to go single? The situation will be back to square 1.
I thought of it for a day or so, and from then onwards started respecting the law-makers !

You have a good solution. I guess the dead load issue can be rectified by making some other statistics too!!!
Ha! Nearly all freeways in CA have a separate 'carpool' lane, and they require more than _1_ person in the car. But yet, at peak hour almost the entire lane will be invariably empty!
There's a new industry coming up, carpool assistance. You pay for a person to get on your car and sit with you till your destination, so that you can use the carpool lane and get there faster. I hear it's rather popular on 101.
"Next few seconds I was proud of identifying a solution to one of the serious problems that India is facing" - LOL!!! :D
In this case, make the buses aesthetically pleasing and people will themselves leave the cars for buses. This will also be accompanied with them mistaking this to be their contribution to the whole oh-we-are-running-out-of-petroleum thingy. What say?
car pooling is just picking up in India...it would take some time to spread around
I was about to point out that car pooling existed in some countries and saw KV Mohan's comment. :)
"started respecting the law makers"...
How bout respecting the loop-hole trackers???
