Straphangers United · The voice of the Chennai commuter
This blog – Brilliant!
Excellent blog. I have been visiting my hometown regularly for the last year plus and have been appalled at how the City treats its pedestrians. I have been toying with the idea of starting an activist site until I saw the Hindu article by on pedestrians in Chennai (still can’t get used to this name) and the reference to MIDS and Karen Coelho. I also came across your blog. Like you, In my imaginary world I would like to get a few of the top politicians running this City and State and make them cross a few busy streets or make them walk down mostly non existent sidewalks. I bet the problem would be addressed.
Next I would lock them into a flat next to a canal and leave the windows open at night and let the mosquitoes become their best friend. The list is endless…
Great Initiative
Is slowly encouraging me to take it up in Delhi too 
Thanks for showing the way.
