Mumbai. Now bangalore world famous traffic jams may have just. Been locked up but residents are bracing themselves for business as usual when they daily commute. A group of techies we met before the doctor is true why did a much needed alternative to help decongest the citys back. Oh the worlds most traffic congested city that was a designation given to bangalore to have the start of 2020 its a dubious honor for india which is home to some of the worlds biggest tech corporations. During rush hour commuters here spend an extra 243 hours stuck in traffic into 1900 thats 10 days and 3 are the traffic each year. So whats the best way to beat the congestion ingenius can take on the Mountain Bike but can he really be faster than his colleague whos driving a car. We are at the brain among Large Companies and we need to get to the dont move which is approximately 2 kilometers from here so i get you there you. Got to climb the mountain really evoke the same company and get married he will travel by car while car think on the mountain will take his bike. For a small stretch. Thanking has been part of kartik on the mountain. Daily routine since his childhood as a seasoned writer he expertly navigate the citys jampacked roads using his tried and tested environmentalists friendly mode of transport. They can we less than 9 minutes to go a little kilometers from it on the left and i get a lot of. Time every 6 minutes later his colleagues at a. Heavy traffic. You know by. Almost 15 minutes. The mountain is the clear winner but cycling in bangalore comes with strings at that the onset of corporate 19 may have led to fewer vehicles on the streets but it is estimated that by 2022 the number of vehicles in the city will cross the 10000000. 00 mark so even though it can be a quicker option riding a bicycle in bangalore can be dangerous as the city lacks cycling infrastructure such as bike leave. The. For me. So there are 2 nonnegotiable so the minute i mean. When i get to these 2 come along with me. Then yeah i mean. I mean to annoying ready helps. Knowing your road helps. In 2019 karthik on the mountain became a bicycle ambassador for his company as part of a Citywide Initiative called cycle to work he wants to encourage his colleagues to also make the switch to using the bicycle as a long Term Solution to decongest this city. Cycle to work was born out of a desire to target people who have the option to choose between various modes. Transport for their work commute and ensuring that the off on a bicycle for that particular trip. The project was initiated by set then i and some good and a techie turn entrepreneur consulting on urban mobility and decker led planning for smart cities. And the private motorway goes the cost condition and the cost per usual and. Causing this together it is not one so you can solve only condition and so you solve the problem. Of solve the problem. Itself in our own son couldnt is also known as bangles bicycle mayor and on it are read all commissioned by b. By c. S. A dutch social enterprise working bald like to get 50 percent off all city trips made by a bicycle by 2030. I think every time a person makes this choice of trying to take a bicycle the entire city benefits its one thing for you to enjoy riding the bike and make it. A recreational option and get fit will be holding enjoy the race but its another thing to make it cold for the city. He developed this cycle to Work Platform that cyclists can use free of charge to plan their daily work right through and now the death toll for each trip comprises workplace location the route taken distance traveled and calculates the Carbon Emissions offset by the commute this creates a public leaderboard but this updated in real time. Using technology to game if i cycling to work has generated a sense of Competition Among writers that fosters sustainable behavior change cycle to work awards the best teams among the members of the platform. One of them is kartik and the athens company. This became the daily habit of of us to see if. I mean the number of raids that we did and so how how how how many rides to be due to the need we get any in a new day. So that sort of became became this habit within the whole team to get of help us and push the whole company to get on it. Through those to do 2000 people in bangalore who are to do to disturb on the cycle to Work Together they have clocked 600000 kilometers by riding their bicycles to work just within 2 years. Easy traffic snarl ups are expected to reappear in the city for so long down but the citizens of bangalore who are fighting hard to prove that bicycling could be a viable and eco friendly mode of transport for india has all been booking classes. Now the World Economy has taken a huge beating because of the pandemic governments have taken unprecedented steps in the form of credits and subsidies to kickstart their economy all the steps aligned with Sustainable Development we did a fact check to find out. Aircraft with nowhere to go commercial aviation almost ground to a halt worldwide because of Coronavirus Travel bounds. On the left flights over europe on the last sunday of march last year. On the right this year the difference is huge and a storm of. Industrial activity is also plummeted. Climate researchers estimate that carbon dioxide. Emissions this year could be 7 percent less than last if some restrictions remain in place worldwide that would be the biggest drop in c o 2 emissions in 75 years. Economies are suffering governments around the world are trying to shore up companies with programs worth billions of euros to offset pandemic related losses but does that come at the expense of the climate. The European Commission has presented a 750000000000 euro economic rescue package 25 percent of which like all you expenditure will be used for Climate Action at the National Level some countries are using economic support packages to curtail pollution is lee is offering city dwellers up to 500 euros to help them buy a bicycle or. Austrias making bailouts conditional on companies agreeing to eco friendly changes for Austrian Airlines that means reducing the number of short haul flights increasing fuel efficiency and reducing c o 2 emissions. The pandemic is also hitting the Automobile Industry. Consulting Firm Mckinsey estimates that 7500000. 00 fewer vehicles will be produced worldwide this year than last. Thats a drop of about 10 percent. In india air quality improved during lockdown in part because of a drastic cuts in Industrial Production the government introduced a 250000000000 euro relief package some of that will help businesses but with no eco friendly Strings Attached but it offers no relief to the beleaguered Automobile Industry which represents more than 7 percent of g. D. P. That will please environmentalists who want to see the development of a green public transport system. City of 40 and based on india expanding the foot of the citys cleared the commons and cottage walking and reduce traffic but is this really possible to sustain in the long term and engine which is helping bring a civic authorities says yes lets take a closer look at that. Is considered the most livable city in india at the same time the traffic is horrendous car ownership is rising the air pollution is intense and its noisy. Walking is a dangerous activity. Its no hard to imagine that was once a fine place for cyclists. When i was kid i used to travel by bicycle to my school it was around 5 every day and i was very iffy by riding my bicycle but over the years i thought that the Bicycle Police were. Moving those things even. If people think people are moving target me but you definitely want to reduce it to death then passing on private and rest of the followed by. Bikers blocking. 30 kilometers of footpaths are being built to make the walking enjoy able and safe. There will be greenery separating wide footpaths from traffic and bicycle paths. But theres still a long way to go to encourage people to give up their cars or mopeds. Together with the institute for transportation and Development Policy or i t d p urban planners and architects have been studying travel patterns and pony they want to take into account the needs of ordinary people as they formulate a Long Term Development plan for the city. This will. Be hospital blue one. If. You. Are. Making. Nowadays School Children learn how to get around town in an eco friendly way they are encouraged to use the bureau Rapid Transit bus network it has dedicated corridors that connect downtown with the suburbs in delhi by contrast. With Popular Resistance and had to be removed the authorities here once young people to appreciate the benefits of public transport buses currently run on natural gas and as the buses have their own lanes they get you where you want to go relatively fast. The new water footpaths are giving people the opportunity to walk rather than drive. And traffic free public spaces are being created for a little rest or recreation. To the east asian director of. Once people across india to any claim urban space for their everyday life like these permanent residents with. The idea of living in 55. People. And. Whats more with the help of. 400 kilometers of bicycle paths are going to be created over the next few years. Coolly aims to defend its title as indias most livable city and even extend its lead. In more cities across the world a lot of systemic changes needed to make woods of transport and barmaids friendly and secure for the rest of the pandemic has shown us that in a way should not transport systems is imperative research in a western German University have been working to solve some of these problems. At aston Technical University or r w t 8 scientists are working flat out. They want to develop new kinds of environmentally friendly mobility for the future. Leading the charge there is its director going to shoot a man with big ideas. His dream was an electric car that everyone can afford he believes the car makers werent interested so in 2017 she founded the company ego and built his own factory overnight the scientist became a comic engine over how privileged engineers dont have the privilege of conducting research only with the aim of gaining new insights unlike other disciplines were obliged to carry out research according to its relevance once we take that very seriously here it up in university. So whatever we dedicate our resources to researching it has to be of use to society. And you also have to be Strong Enough to fight for things that you think would be good for society even if the establishment doesnt want them feel like this one. Into shoes and ego change the German Automobile market the trailblazer success is inspiring his colleagues at university to realize their own ambitions for them hes a pioneer that opens doors for others to go through thats what. People would always say you researchers are academics you will sit in ivory towers you broke the stereotype. I showed that universities can also bring new products to the market successfully bring new products to the market and we profit from that of course. Producer got it showing the way for all of the issues surrounding mobility were very happy that he is here in arkansas and that he is helping even if just subconsciously take us all to another level in my opinion without going to shoe and ego we would not have secured the funding for this project and. The team is developing an innovative project with its routes to space. In order to connect the cabin of an electric bus to an overhead cable a highly complex clamping device was developed from Satellite Technology by traffic jams from above thats the vision under the direction of professor. Theyve come up with a new concept that has really taken off. Im now of the opinion that we have found the key to what mobility might look like in the future because weve solved so many problems by lifting transport of the ground we freed up the space below and can return again to the people and. Its hope that people mover will be at the center of the universitys cable project this small electric bass is the latest innovation from going to shoot when the earth and university crews work on mobility ideas they often examine how Autonomous Driving Technology can be integrated. For that reason project leaders on these. With colleagues from the institute for automotive engineering at university theyre at the forefront of research into autonomous driving. We arent working on systems that need to be put in production tomorrow but we can take our time to find something for the future i mean blick. Divisions are testing the concept in one of the most modern simulators in the world here theyre looking into how the movements of the driverless bus impact the senses of its passengers this pleasure type called speedy has already passed through the simulation process kitted out with the latest technology it aims to provide a driving experience fit for the future. Its about improving mobility not restricting us and making it environmentally friendly my job is not only to make that happen but to try it out and test it with my young team so that theyre excited about this journey and then want to pursue it their whole lives. And the excitement that drives innovative ideas that can change the way we travel in the city and beyond. Now the pandemic has many of us in our thinking forcing us to confront our choices. Like how do we travel in the future what is the impact of this travel on the unbarred rate and is there a weve got to be sustainable. Lots of websites are now helping us on some of these questions. On the road but back at home they mean to take up space nobody really needs to put pressure on tourism today is smart smart tourism to me smart tourism means using the options digitalisation provides to minimize risk as far as passive. And sustainability is also important. For instance in how you get to a Place Services like eco passenger help travelers compare different routes in terms of their emissions. If you want to know how to travel by train in asia or africa you can visit the man in seat 61 a block created by rail expert mark smith from britain. If youre traveling by plane sites like atmosphere will calculate your journeys Carbon Footprint and convert it into the sum needed for carbon offsetting a flight from burning to cape town would produce the equivalent of 150 euros which you could donate to climate protection projects directly on the site. Other providers use a similar principle. Sustainability isnt only about c o 2 its also about social sustainability such as reforestation or education or traveling could also mean flying to the amazon to help with social projects there are people interested in that type of trip can use social b. And b. Which lets you book developmental conservation projects for a stronger focus on local projects there off platforms like work away info. For simply booking accommodation there be in peace a greener alternative the commissions go to support local projects the site is still in development as off most of the services are sustainable travelling. And it would be great if we could expand the Data Networks and share data better we even have the technology to collect data as tourists. Lets say i dont find a given offer very sustainable i could suggest another if we use the potential there is in the right way we can also do good. Now its great to be able to look for sustainable alternatives to the we travel but in some parts of the world its still a luxury that many channel for some binman in india for example being able to travel safely across the city all by themselves is in itself a new and liberating phenomenon i did come to always be done with it and bob mentored by.
