By the late 19th century, the first naphtha fueled buses took passengers along the few roads to reach a settlement. These were usually twice daily trips to a town to pick up supplies and a few passengers. The problem was that these early buses were heavy, clumsy, noisy, and unreliable.

The Indian Olympic Association, however, was more wary of the project, with officials reluctant to commit to the Games without assurances that the city will be in a better position to host them when they arrive in about 10 years.
The most visible form of pollution in the Indian capital is the Delhi smog that has choked the city since the 1980s. Last year was the worst it has be359ba680
