Many motorcycles were parked on the sidewalks, as if they were makeshift bicycle parking lots. Although there are many automobiles in India, motorcycles are still an important means of transportation for the common people. Their ease of use and economic efficiency have probably made them widely accepted as a daily means of transportation.
Unlike China, India has never had a birth control policy. Therefore, the population is expected to continue to grow. In fact, it is said that India will enjoy a demographic dividend for the next 30 years. This is in contrast to Japan, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging.
