During the year 2015-16, India spent Rs.4.82 lakh crores on imports to fulfill domestic demand. To reduce the import burden, and also to work towards to a greener environment, it is proposed to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week.

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister has urged all citizens to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week. He has said that if 125 crore Indians pledge to do this, the dream of a ‘New India’ can be achieved.

Citizens are invited to suggest ways for encouraging and motivating the masses to avoid the usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day, every week.

Its very good idea. it will not only help to reduce the use of Petrol/Diesel but also will help to make habit to people to use of Public Transport system. However unfortunately in Pune & Pimpri Chinchwad of Maharashtra no Public Transport System is enough competent, required improvement inits time table, way of driving,way of stooping the buses at stops, behavior of staff- specially Conductors & Drivers of buses.

Walk a day programme can be done in offices,giving them a relaxing mode,the first working day or the last or better according to consensus. Similarly cycle a day can be done once a week.And as another option, the old idea of car pooling, reducing the vehicles to at least half per day.,and come by public transport a day. Thus half of working days can be on lesser vehicle mode.

One day of the week public transport fares can be reduced or to have a flat one day charge which will motivate vehicle users to travel by public transport. Can be tried in tier I and II cities where people use their vehicles to go to their work place

People keen to walk or commute by cycle but the hurdle is roads..we don't have cycle lane or pedestrian lane in our cities..no of public transport vehicles are very less..if people start seeing these things are being rectified they will happily switch to cycle or public transport..we will happy to give up petrol/diesel not for 1 day but for whole year.

People in the cities who use private/personal transport actually consume relatively large amount of fuel with respect to the others. Hence these people need to be encouraged to use public transport or eco-friendly vehicles like bycycle. To facilitage this there needs to be seperate lane setup for cyclist across all roads & highways as fundamental design for roads/highways.

Self Service CYCLE stands with on rent cycles at frequent places where user can use monthly card like metro card to rent cycle and drop at another cycle stand that will encourage a healthy way of living and also remove dependency on vehicles for local commute hence reduced consumption. Add that to health points to encourage with rewards/recognition and advertise benefits of cycling wtc.
