Summary:
In addition, commute is identified as a high-exposure activity , and therefore, any fight against air pollution must necessarily include transportation solutions. Projects like the 16-lane signal-free corridor, connecting Golf Course Road to National Highway-8, is a classic example of how not to design an urban road. In 2016, around 410 people were killed in Gurugram in road crashes, of which about 50% were pedestrian and cyclists. Gurugram has an opportunity to shape its transport-air pollution agenda, provided it makes the right choices, else it will be 'locked in'. Therefore, Gurugram needs over 1,000 buses as the current population is estimated to be around 18-20 lakh (almost double the 2011 census number of 9 lakh)..
