Roads for People organized a demonstration supported by WBB TRUST

On 7 September 2005, Roads for People organized a demonstration supported by WBB Trust. demanding promotion of fuel-free transport to save fuel.  As the price of fuel goes up, so does suffering of the population:  bus fares and the price of essential goods all rise accordingly.  Yet there are inexpensive, environmentally-friendly alternatives readily available, which should be encouraged:  use of rickshaw vans, rickshaws, bicycles, and trains to transport goods and people.  While trains are not fuel-free, they are far more fuel-efficient than trucks and buses, and entirely fuel-free transport should be promoted, not banned.
