I think that the government's strategy is correct. Improving the public transport system will motivate people to use this mode of transport instead of using their personal vehicles. This will definitely help to reduce environmental degradation as studies have indicated that emissions of harmful gases from trains per passenger/ km are nearly half as that of a car. Also, one bus emits far fewer fumes than twenty cars. So, air pollution will reduce and the quality of environment will improve.
