Since CNG running cars had been exempted from the scheme, this formula would have also encouraged people to go for CNG running vehicles besides carpooling and public transport. But according to the papers and the researches done, cars cause only 20% of the pollution in our country while 80% is caused by the heavy vehicles and two-wheelers (in terms of pollution caused by only vehicles). It also stated that only 0.5-1% of pollution is caused by cars in Delhi. So I guess this scheme might have not made the capital free of contaminated air. Though the purpose of the scheme might have not been accomplished, it sure reduced the road traffic which a great relief for the commuters. 🙂
