On the one hand, India's progress picture has been acclaimed, but the benefits have not infiltrated the lower strata of society. The Sky Bus Project a path breaking indigenously-developed technology is an example of the slow pace that things move in India.

India's infrastructure is facing the problems faced by any economy in its transition phase. With rapid growth on the economic front, the Indian transportation system is trying to gain control over the situation, with overcrowded roads, overloaded trains and buses, being a common scene in the metros and the main cities of the country.
Sky Bus transportation was mocked as one of the solutions to ease the load on the congested traffic lines of Indian metros. That was almost three years ago when the minister of railways dedicated the modern technology of the railway system to the world when the Federal Minister of Railways Lalu Prasad Yadav dedicated the project of buses Sky to the nation the 15 of October of 2004 in the state of Goa, in the west of India.
But in the intervening period, since October 2004 the project has been caught in a dilemma with technology developed industrially by Sky Bus, which expects federal lawmakers to agree on whether it should be introduced in India.
"My biggest problem is that the railway ministry has not been able to decide whether the skybus is a train or a bus, in fact the skybus is ready for commercial use, but by policy restrictions," said B Rajaram, former director of Konkan Railway Corporation (KRC), had said before his retirement in January 2005.
