“Construction of flyovers keeps cumulative inconvenience to travellers constant”
Proof:
We have to first consider 2 basic laws:
-
Construction of flyover at one point shifts the bottleneck to another point. However, the next bottleneck may not be that severe when the flyover construction gets over.
-
Traffic increases with time. We can derive from law 1 that there would be some relief after the construction of flyover BUT NOT complete relief as there is another bottleneck next to the fly-over point.
We can derive from law 2 that the next bottleneck will become as severe as the previous one as traffic increases over a period of time.
Put law 1 & 2 together and you get: Any relief from fly-over is smalland short-lived. Offset it with the extra inconvenience that you went through during flyover construction.
And what you get is the ultimate law of flyovers: “Construction of flyovers keeps cumulative inconvenience to travellers constant”.
