All govt decisions in India are based on note or vote. The ambulance owners will form union , together they will bribe Transport minister,RTO and Transport commissioner and like Auto, Taxi unions they too will go about looting common man and will harass them. They will blackmail emergency patients etc.. Such services are better when they are disorganized. Today rent act affected buildings owners still get Rs 30/- per room but PUC costs Ts 80 /- but they charge Rs 100/- cause RTO officers are themselves owners of most booth. Similarly pay and park, towing van etc are owned by mafias, govt officials or ministers and common men are looted. .........PIL seems to be filed by a man of Sharad Rao or an ignorant or RTO. And WIAA is controlled by vested interests so they never raise any voice and malpractice goes on. . ......No one tells you this except Alok......
