16 QIN QUI & ITS VARIANTS TRAVEL INVENTORY Why are most of Qin Qui & its variants Unregistered? Is Qin Qui a Para Transit OR Public Transit? MVO 1965 does not have provision to register such vehicles? So Qin Qui is an Unidentified Object in the traffic stream? In case of a road accident the Qin Qui remains unidentified?

17 POSSIBLE RECTIFICATIONS

18 WAY TO SOLUTION POSSIBLE RECTIFICATIONS Strengthening MVO 1965 & MVA 1969 for recent transport regime. Need to establish formal public transport system. Encouraging high occupancy vehicles to carry passenger. Development of Mass Transit System. Re-examining and redefining role of PTA & RTA. Bringing Qin Qui & variants under MVO Examining Qin Qui to function as a feeder for residential areas. Examining Qin Qui design for passenger safety. Public Transport to be declared Industry. The driver licensing regime to revamped on technical grounds. Formal Private sector companies to be encouraged for Public Transport Operations. Media & Public Awareness Campaigns for public transport orientation of masses.
