I cannot provide a reliable source for this info... But an old friend of mine is involved with the toll booths on the borders of Delhi and he stated that Delhi Government is not scrutinizing the green tax funds being collected at the borders. And the owners of the tolls are easily making at least 1.5 crore rupees by under reporting collection.
Pollution Problem in Delhi NCR
Amid Debate, Arvind Kejriwal Says Odd-Even Car Rule on Trial Basis
@Ras Al Ghul - still a stupidity? (I know you will still say it is).
But he clarifies that they do want to improve things but there is urgent need to do something due to court's order.
Experiment is only for 10-15 days. As I said - no harm in trying - it takes just one day to withdraw if things dont go well.
PS: I know this ban may be withdrawn soon as people are not tolerant. Slight inconvenience and people would start talking against this rule overlooking pollution worries that need to be addressed immediately

First week of January is one of the the coldest and foggiest in Delhi. The decision and the timing is still stupid. Supreme Court judges are not going to travel on public transport for three days in a month so their opinion is also irrelevant. Delhi is not prepared for such a massive additional load on its public transport. It's not an opinion but a fact.
They live around the same place. Go to the same place. Have access to multiple cars. Plus they have drivers who can make multiple trips. Judges doing carpooling is not a sacrifice. It's a lame gesture.
Delhi people do not have such options. If they wanted to set an example... All AAP MLAs would announce travel in public transport three days a week. Judges if they want could do the same. Plus they still have no solution for the able naari working during evening and night shifts.
Judges do not face the hassle faced by the common man on the road. It is easy for me to say that I can just use Uber because I have that option. Others do not have the same option.

What has the government done on their part? Are the auto drivers any better? Are the buses any better? Has the crime situation improved? Have they created any cycle tracks? Except for enabling e rickshaws which are inherently crazy unsafe and allowing industries to work without pollution licensing or whatever.
Visibility is down to 10 meters in Delhi during morning and evening during new year in Delhi. Temperature is in the range of 1—5 degree Celsius. It's insane time to tell people to travel in open rickshaws to travel to offices.
