Public Transport: Kathmandu

Photo from:http://online.wsj.com/media/0115pod_08.jpg

There are always much benifits of using public transport. Some of the benefits of using public transports are like..
1.Saves fuel :  one vehicle many passangers
2. Saves money
3. Reduce traffic jams : Every time while waiting for a public tempo or a bus I see lots of people traveling alone in a car.
 Because of all these benefits I always try to encourage myself to use public transport as long as I can but these days it's too hard to travel in public transports of Nepal. Some of the reasons why public transports are getting unpopular and getting the tag of low class things are like...
1. Indiscipline and rude behavior  of Public transport staffs. Like "rat paryo card ko discout hudaina, pachadi janu sabbai khali cha, ani taxi ma meter ma najane teti najik pani etc etc.
2.Narrow streets
3.Wrong vehicle on the road. Some of the examples are : Toyota Hiace  , Toyota and KIA Van, Blue Suzuki Gas Van, locally assembled Tata buses, Tempo is good for environment but it's too slow.
4.Puddles on road.
5.Rude and untrained traffics
6.Dirty seats
7.Unplanned bus stops
etc
etc
