Transportation policies shape how people move, how cities grow, and how
economies develop. This debate will involve two opposing perspectives:
citizens and government planners, each defending their stance on key
transportation issues.

Objective:

To critically discuss transportation policies, understand different viewpoints,


and develop solutions for sustainable urban mobility.

Roles:

Citizen Representatives: Prioritize affordability, convenience, and daily


commuting challenges.

Government Planners: Focus on sustainability, economic feasibility, and long-


term urban development.

2. Debate Topics & Key Arguments

Topic 2: Road Expansion vs. Public Transit Investment

Government Planner: Supports developing metro, bus rapid transit (BRT),


and cycling infrastructure to reduce reliance on cars.

Citizen: Prefers road expansion and flyovers to reduce current traffic


congestion for car owners.

Topic 3: Congestion Pricing in City Center

Government Planner: Proposes congestion pricing (charging fees for cars


entering the city center) to reduce traffic and encourage public transport
use.

Citizen: Opposes extra fees, arguing it is unfair for those who rely on
personal vehicles.

Topic 4: Fuel Subsidies vs. Electric Vehicle (EV) Incentives

Government Planner: Supports reducing fuel subsidies and investing in EV


infrastructure to encourage sustainable transportation.
