Aspirations

This one morning, while driving home from work, I saw this huge yellow Volvo bus with this extremely intresting caption in the back window:




For those who don't see the humour, Reva is this really tiny two-seater Electric Car, which is somewhat common on Bangalore roads (though it hasn't really caught its fair market share).

On a social note, it would be really awesome if all buses were to aspire to and attain the emission levels (zero. zilch. nil) and the driving cost per km (Approx 40p per km) of the Reva. The world would definitely be a better place.

Then again, if the buses can aspire to and attain the power and speed (max of 65 kmph) levels of the Reva, they wouldn't be able to bully around on the roads that much. :)

If buses were to aspire to and attain the seating capacity of the Reva (2 adults + 2 children), then we would have serious mass-transportation problems.

So, are these aspirations good or bad?

@sheena I did figure that out at some point of time that the bus in question did infact belong to Reva Institute of Technology...
