The article at issue speaks at length on why it is time to renounce

private car ownership. According to reports and personal
experience, Indian metropolises are nightmares of traffic congestion.
And this is mainly precipitated by the disparity in the rise of the
private and public transport systems infrastructure. While owning
private vehicles is regarded a sign of success, they are used very less,
and they take up useful space and pollute useful urban air. Indian
cities are highly polluted, and pose significant health risks. To reduce
this clutter of vehicles, the author suggests several measures. In the
short term, people could be made to share rides instead of having a
whole car to themselves. In the longer term, the public transport
machinery of the country should be hugely developed to make it
more lucrative to people, lucrative enough to make them choose it
over private vehicles. If it could be made as developed as, say,
London, it would have the power to turn Indian life on its head and
in a good way. With India still having very poor individual rates of car
ownership, the potential of public transport’s gains is huge. The
author says everyone should work towards lessening private vehicle
ownership, in whatever small way they can.
