How ODD is this even

So Arvind Kejriwal is going for odd/even formula for cars and this idea he has copied from Beijing.
When Bejing implemented this idea they made sure that their public transport system is upgraded completely to handle the commuters influx in the city. They did proper research and study which included administrative and infrastructure capacity then did a feasibility study and then in a proper manner they implemented it with full preparation.
Enforcement in communist China has never been a problem so that is not a problem for them in any ways.
On the other side here in New Delhi Arvind Kejriwal no doubt is of communist mindset but he has failed to understand that he is not running a autocratic govt. like China. So here are few basic question which are bugging me if anyone who thinks this is a good idea would care to answer i will be very thankful.
1) Is Delhi's already overcrowd public transport systems like DTC and DMRC have been upgraded to meet the increased influx of commuters?
2) Delhi police is already short in sanctioned manpower by 50% is it prepared to enforce and handle this kind of law and under what part of traffic rules will they book the violation.
3) Is there any clarity on whether this rule will be applicable on vehicles with registration number other than Delhi and what about the private taxis.?
4) Is there any plan to regulate auto and taxi fares which will skyrocket due to the increased numbers of commuters and lack of alternatives?
There are many other complexities other than this but these are the few to begin with and once these are answered we can move on to others.
Other than these technical problems there are social problems as well, today Delhi Govt. has announced exemption for women from this rule well given the women security record of Delhi I would say its a good decision but on the other hand the growing exemption list will be the very reason which will defeat the very purpose of this whole exercise....................... In my opinion this is another one of AK's marketing ops as he want to be seen as a person who is trying to do something so all those who are elated just by the thought of his noble intentions and less than futile attempts kindly stop and think over it because there are people who are doing some real work and thinking to sove the very problem by practical means which are suited better to a democratic setup rather than borrowing ideas from communists.
