the transportation system is important in our life, everyone needs to take the subway or the bus and transportation system is the public system so all people in this nation need to pay this money to support the system.

India is a typical developing country because why they lack some sense to construct some infrastucture because they have solid opinions . they have inequalities among the people

The rich people think they don’t need to put a lot of money because everyone can share thus system but they think the bottom level they don’t have any right to enjoy this benefit so I think the India government they controlled by rich people because it is capital system not like china is communist system.

SO the first thing they need to do is to change their mindset and their system but that is hard to do.

We say to the public that we are communist but actually it is not really capitalist country because we have 1 party to control all the country.
