Traffic is the cause of frustration for most of our metro city dwellers. It is the chief reason we try to get far from the maddening crowds once in a while. It is the primary reason for the shoots in our BP, smoke in our lungs, and holes in our ear drums!
One main reason for the hugely congested traffic is utilization of personal vehicles by employees to commute to their offices. We IBMers can become role models by effectively utilizing public transport and avoiding use of personal vehicles.
The advantages are:
1. Public transport is cheaper
2. Less stressful
3. Less health risk because of noise and air pollution
4. Least risk of accident (God forbid!)
5. Petrol is an import by India and we as a nation spend hugely on oil imports. We can help reduce that!
6. We can read books, listen to music, or just chat and make friends with strangers in the bus
The government has introduced AC buses so that we can commute comfortably.
Let us IBMers do great service to ourselves, our beautiful cities, and our beloved country by availing public transport effectively! ---------------------------------------------------------------One of my posts in IBM JAM held in February 2011, on the eve of IBM's centennial.
