A study on Patna's transport highlights major problems. During peak hours, vehicle speeds drop below 10 km/h, increasing fuel use and health risks. The research finds that 64% of people own no private vehicle and rely on unsafe walking or public transport. Experts stress that simply switching to electric cars is not enough. The city must use this time of new development to build an inclusive, affordable, and safe system focused on more electric buses and safe pedestrian and cycle paths.
