Step 1: Tell 2 lakh people to give up their cars
Step 2: Do nothing about the terrible last mile connectivity - metro stations far off from the offices, no metered rickshaws, etc
Step 3: Launch it right as the monsoon hits.
Step 4: Call it a "first-of-its-kind initiative" in the press

Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), one of India's most congested business hubs, has launched what authorities are calling a first-of-its-kind initiative for any corporate district in the country, a car-free Friday. Nearly 2,00,000 professionals working in BKC are being strongly encouraged to take the train, metro or bus every Friday instead of driving or booking a cab

And the problem of the badly behaved domestic tourist abroad is essentially the problem of the same behaviour at home: fear of one's own culture & hegemony being challenged in the smallest way, the need to dominate public space, a lack of curiosity about other people's cultures

This ‘sarpech’ once adorned the Nizam’s turban, a symbol of power. Today, it’s a decorative accessory for the ultra-rich at the Met Gala. That’s what time does to empires.
