Commuting on Our Narrow, Potholed Roads: PeopleSpeak, The Himalayan Times

The government needs to promote micro-bus for short routes and narrow roads, and big buses for longer routes and wider roads. Small vehicles are not a nuisance. Small vehicles such as tuk-tuk are seen driven in busy cities like Bangkok. Micro-buses can ply within the Ring Road during office hours. Big buses should be allowed on Ring Road and outside.
