भारत के लोक प्रिय प्रधान मंत्री श्री मोदी जी के इस जनकल्याणकारी विचार को सफलोभूत बनाने का एक सहज उपाय है: सारे देशवासी हफ्ते के एक दिन परोपकार, पूजा - पाठ, योगाभ्यास या सत्संग में लगावें जैसे बड़े-बूढे, गरीब और असहाय की मदद । ऐसे काम अपने पड़ोसी या सगे संबंधी के साथ मिल - जुल कर करें और पैदल ही चलकर पूजन या सत्संग के लिए जाये या कार शेयर करके जाए ।

All Mahatma Gandhi Roads (MG Roads) in the country should should stop using automobiles and only cycles / walking should be allowed. Only Ambulance or Fire fitting vehicles should be allowed. In all Cites MG Roads are big and cycling will be a pleasure and avoiding motor vehicles will reduce the parking burden, in most places MG Roads have parallel roads which can be used by motor vehicles.

Make good, timeliness, clean, and cost-effective public transportation.In India there is no other way to do this. By this way we can save lots of fuel, regain our currency value, and most important we can achieve this without any economy burden, cause proportionally it will effects on personal transportation cost, environment and our(public) saving money. I hope this is the most effective way to motivate people by effectiveness of public transportation rather than any marketing strategies.

Reducing petrol and diesel usage would be possible if people see more promise and convenience in public transport vs their own vehicle. I feel like providing govt run bicycle racks which rent out bicycles near bus-stops and railway stations or major public transport hubs would be great. Another great thing to start is to have easy access to different kinds of electric vehicles from public transport hubs. This should include electric unicycles, scooters, and cars.

every gov and corporate institutes should provide a bus for their employees , private schools should ban their students to use their personal vehicles to use for school to home drop down. cycle racing should promoted, so that young masses will attract for cycling. this must be a compulsory rule for all gov officials to use public transport at least one day a week.

जब कार् और मोटरसाइकिल पर चलने वाले व्यक्ति पैदल या साईकिल से सुरुआत करेंगे तो अन्य व्यक्ति भी उन्हे देखकर उतसाहित होंगे और वो भी पैदल या साईकिल का उपयोग करेंगे जिससे पेट्रोल और डीजल की बचत होगी इसलिए पहले कार् और मोटरसाइकिल वालो को पूर्ण भागीदारी होनी चाहिए
