Petrol for as cheap as Rs.55 per litre was one of the main promises of the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) in its election manifesto for the March 3 assembly polls.

Parrikar said that only 0.1 per cent value added tax (VAT) component would be levied by the state government for sake of record.

"I propose to reduce petrol price by Rs.11 per litre to save commuters from inflation," Parrikar said, presenting his first budget after his party came to power in the state/

Once the budget is passed, the price of petrol in Goa would be the cheapest in the country at Rs.55.

Petrol in Goa is presently priced at approximately Rs.66 per litre.

The reduction of petrol price is expected to provide major relief to a large section of the 14 lakh-odd population in Goa, which has one two-wheeler for every three resident citizens. As of 2011, the state had 5.33 lakh two-wheelers registered in the state.

Parrikar also said that in order to lure aviation companies to refuel at the Goa airport, VAT on aviation fuel would be reduced from 22 per cent to 12 per cent.

We have such high Tax on petrol because

1) India imports almost 80% of petrol.

2) India needs taxes from hard working men/women to fuel the greed of it's politicians and even some businessmen, to fund bad policies.

Middle East has lots of oil fields.

Every European country has higher petrol price than India. Same for Japan and South Korea as well.

Like I said, good and efficient public transport. People won't have to buy/use their own vehicles. Petrol consumption will go down. Cheaper petrol. But Indians - public and government are too stupid to realise this.

nope, he is right.

Wikipedia said:
New York is the only city in the United States where over half of all households do not own a car (Manhattan's non-ownership is even higher - around 75%; nationally, the rate is 8%).

I've been to New York City. The public transport system is excellent. Though interstate transportation is through cars. For example, someone lives in New Jersey but goes for work in NYC. He'll go in his car. He'll park it in a parking station - NOT his office. And then pick up a means of public transport to his office.

One more thing, Delhi has wider roads than NYC. But traffic jams are less frequent. Everyone drives in lanes, keeps distance and never honks. Indians are morons.

Regarding the maintenance of public transport in smaller cities - Indians don't know how to live and let live.

In many Delhi, the situation is like this. Father has his own car. Mother has his own car. Father gifts a car to his son when he turns 18. Each of them will use their own cars to go to their destination. One man. One car. If the son gets married, one car for his wife too.

Stuck in a traffic jam whenever I see cars around me having only one man, I always think - "ye ******* kehte hai ki petrol sasta karo?"

Nothing will happen in this country. The tragedy about this country is - people and the government, both are idiots. You can't say the same for USA. Their government is stupid, but people are fine.

If each municipality thinks of sorting out transportation problem in their city, everything would be fine.

In most Indian "cities" if you are dropped at point X, you can't come back to your home smoothly.

There isn't any problem if one owns a car and uses it the way he likes. It is his choice. But people/govt. should realise the right solution. Lowering/hiking of fuel price is not the solution.

IMO Petrol Prices should be 100INR/ltr. Govt should encourage public to use public transport. Also to introduce public transportation in each & every cities.
Govt Should ban these Autos. Fines & Road Taxes should go high, so no one will every break any rules.

+1 for Public transportation. In Bangalore, going by bus is a nightmare. Apart from the A/C bus, all others are already in bad shape and traveling in that for 1 hr, will give you back pain and all other pain.

Right now, i am on car pooling, 5 people goes in one car, (FYI i have a bike, and a car, which i don't want to user). In Bangalore, bus connectivity is so bad, that to reach my office i have to take 2 bus, and after certain point, no buses. So pay for auto.

Then we decided to go by car, which again, costs me 200rs/day (poor mileage) for mere 30km. So we planned together and fine with car pooling.

And as for Goa, if it is true, then it is REAL Good.

I agree with the efficient public transport but you can't compare Rs. 100 to 1.5 Euros because the people in Europe have higher per capita income. Around $50000 in each country. In India, that is very, very low.. around $1600 I guess. So Rs. 100 is still a huge amount for most of the Indians where as 1.5 Euros is nothing for an average European.

^ European are not so rich like Indians. They life style / Culture is entire different from ours, which makes them rich. Engineerings & Technologies are rich, which makes them finance capital.

^^ This exactly lacks in india.

We save half of our earnings every month for our future investments, but thats not the case with them. They love to spend it across & enjoy the life.

Govt is more proactive & population is less, matt-effect the policies introduced by Govt reaches each & every citizen out there. Emission Norms & Rules & regulations are strict. Nobody, ever think of disrespecting those rules, not just because they can't pay the fines, but its against their culture.

People get good drivings skills from schools, infact very much disciplinary driving skills. Which is why, we can witness most of the F1, WRC, MotoGp racer around the Globe from Europe. Not because they learn driving from Public Road & became a Road Maniac.

Imagine a village or country side with a max population of 100 & out of 100, 10 people clean the area....No doubt it will be clean. That's not the case with Indian. The Size of europe is twice bigger than India & population is 5 times lesser.

People are more educated towards their rights & responsibilities, where india again lacks.

The funda is pretty simple, respect others & respect the habitat. Which is where we are exactly opposite.

Silly old argument. As if people having per capita income of $1600 own cars? "We are poor, so give us cheap petrol." - this argument doesn't work. We are poor in oil fields as well.

The worst part about Indians is, you give 5 lakhs to somebody randomly, he'll buy a car. Whether he has the income to pay for petrol or not. These guys are the ones who get hit mostly.

Secondly, to neutralise the petrol price - don't give subsidy to people driving personal SUVs on Diesel.

And that 1.50 Euro argument tells me that you haven't been outside India and never seen their culture. 1 Euro is a LOT of Europeans. 1 Dollar is a LOT for Americans. Cultural and price differences cancel them out. They spend for leisure, we spend on the necessities. Mother Dairy gives a 1 litre of milk in Rs. 25 over here. In Europe, it's well over a Euro. 1 Gallon (3.75 litre) of Milk in USA was $10. Vegetables and fruits were also expensive in USA.

Cars are cheap here. Over there? Nope. Cheap cars are more efficient here. Over there? nope.

Pretty much same thing. They are getting what they deserve though.

if you feel Rs. 70 for one litre of petrol is high, tum apni hud se zyaada aage badh rahe ho. Don't drive a car, I'd say. If you demand to drive a car and hence you are demanding for cheaper petrol, wrong demand again. Demand for better public transport. That's the only way to get petrol prices down in India.

They don't have the habit of saving like Indians do. An Indian earning 7 lakhs per anum saves as much as a gora earning $35000 per anum (Rs. 17,50,000) at the end of the year. From what I have seen, honestly.

In most of the Foreign Countries, the road won't even have divider or separaters. But in our case, these divides the road & eat half of it with dust, just in order to make people follow lane disciplines.

Public transportation system in foreign countries are far better, not just because only Govt is responsible for it. People - Citizens - Drivers - Public Transport are well sync-ed.

Traffic is not caused by GOVT or neither can be avoided by GOVT. Road accidents are also not caused by Govt or can be avoided by them. Equally public has to be aware & take the equal amount of responsibilities in order to make them follow.

Often People complain about Rich Guys with big Guns driving like maniac in the road at night time hitting, breaking public properties. Thats called damage, which can be repaired with the money.

But imagine a normal person with normal earnings, visiting a bus stop & engraving his lovers & their relationship in big letters & making it a History. Same goes with Public transportation seats, doors, windows.
All are involved, not only rich guys or from poor background. Everyone is involved in this sh!t.

I live in a place called Koramangala in bangalore. I guess the average population will be closed to few lakh with their own house & vehicles. But none of these resident owner have their own parking space. Even i have witnessed few BMW 7 series parked outside here. Forget BMW, think of meduim class family, they just dump their daily garbage outside the home every morning next to the road side.

Every morning the garbage vehicle visits such places & carry these, but during the rainy season, it produces rodents, bad odor, making the healthy enviroment unhealthy in every possible way. Just everyone staying here does the same. " Dump it on the road ". Govt will clean them. "

What shall i call these morons ??? Educated A$$holes....

Funniest part was when i moved in these place, i had the same issue finding the garbage yard, which is located almost two hundred meters from my gate. I bought a Big dustbin tumbler & kept outside in the morning time before leaving the office. After couple of weeks its gone. It was taken by some morons.

Roads were already Narrow,Upon That i has become more shorter due to Metro works and Pillars.
Bangalore has become really dusty in some places i guess near maleshwaram,

No roads are not narrow. Road are perfect. The shitty driving style of people here sucks. No1 KNOWS WAT A LANE IS, FORGET FOLLOWING LANE DISCIPLINE.

^^ one of the worst, leaving the big vajra and other A/C buses. Most of the buses are in poor condition, where if he goes beyond 50, all spares will fall down.

low floor bus = Tata marcopolo = seriously it emits a lot of C02.. Stand behind the Volvo & marcopolo, you will feel the difference.

From what I have experienced, public transport system of b'lore is better than delhi. (not comparing condition of buses). I always lost my way in delhi being a hindi state :oops: but never in b'lore. I ask people in delhi about the route of buses and they are like :confused:

got something to do with u being clueless in delhi and not being clueless in bangalore? :confused: delhi has the best public transport in noobland - cuz it is the capital. but that doesnt mean it is any good. still sucks overall and is very crowded especially with UP/bihar guys flocking into delhi.

satellite towns of delhi? suck. big time.

Yes. Bangalore does have good bus transport service then Delhi. Roads are ok but narrow at some places. Also Lane Discipline is worst.

We do need Public Transport but it should be reliable / effecient / and cheap.

SKYBUS was proposed but it did not work out it seems.

Metro is best as a Public Transport but connectivity is a very big issue to the stations.

All the trees are shoved off, and result is clearly visible in form of climate change. God, B'lore was never hot like this. It had one of the best weather in India :(
