How can you kill a Goose that lays golden eggs

Folks, please understand, will you kill a goose that lays golden egg every year before and after the rainy season. Take a look at this, you call for tenders to fix the roads, you award the tenders to the contractors and he pays your share, this happens in May/June and in September/October. these potholes are precisely money making machine for the BMC. All the big talking is only for the sake of it and we are afterall used to all false promises. At the end of the day, you are the looser, you pay for your vehicle breakdown, missing the flights or trains, loosing precious business time on the roads. The govt is not. Few days back I took a taxi from Chembur to Colaba, the taxi drive was telling his plight, he can only make 2 or 3 such 15 km and earn 150/200 per day, while one can effectively make 6-8 such trips if roads are good and traffic is organized. But who cares the poor.
