PMC) now has a new vision to chase and in a decade’s span the civic body wants to promote non-motorised transport in a way that 50 per cent people should ideally be walking or cycling, 40 per cent people using public transport and only 10 per cent private vehicles should be on road. Activists and residents however lament that the civic body should first check their previous records of failed stints and then go on to make such claims.
