There are negative points also to be viewed like
i. As much as 6200 crores are collected in dues but only 10% of this revenue is used for development of roads, which a disadvantage as road transport is till not well organized.
ii. Road transport industry is not come of age in India, as there are very few companies, which own the entire fleet of trucks. Single vehicle owners operate most of the road transport.
There is a system of associates, who pool in their vehicles and other resources and share the benefits of vehicle contribution. The associates operate from different cities. An associate in one city, say, Mumbai, watches the interest of his counterpart in Delhi. Together they operate as a team. They minimize expenses on the maintenance of a branch office at the out-station and yet give the identity of a single branch operator.
