Zoho Co-Founder Praises Singapore's Public Transport, Sparks Debate on India's City Planning
Zoho co-founder and chief scientist Sridhar Vembu has sparked a conversation about public transport and urban planning in India. His recent post on X (formerly Twitter) garnered over 170,000 views, praising Singapore's public transport system and criticising the lack of it in Indian cities.
Vembu's comments were in response to a post by BJP leader Tejasvi Surya, who had criticised a tunnel road project in Bengaluru. Vembu argued that Indian cities, despite being more dense than Singapore, need extensive public transport to be livable. He praised Singapore's Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, which limits private vehicle ownership, suggesting a similar approach could help India's traffic congestion issues.
Vembu called for urgent improvements in India's public transport infrastructure. His post highlighted the importance of investing in public transport to make cities more sustainable and livable. The conversation it sparked has brought attention to the need for better urban planning and public transport in India.
