Today it took more than 3 hours to reach to my office. I think we are at Mumbai already paying petrol more than Rs. 100 per litre as we have to burn more than double for same distance if we have to cover in any other cities. Mumbaikar are most tolerated people on this planet. Most of political parties are raising voice for issues like non Mahrastrian, Bombay or Mumbai etc. Why they are ignoring issue of infrastructure of Mumbai has today ?? In local train it has worst scenario. Forget about getting seats, it’s difficult to getting inside the train during morning time. It’s really painful that no one is serious about Bombay ahhh sorry Mumbai. Just see the way Delhi is shaping by Metro train it’s amazing.. In Mumbai it will take decades.... but Everyone love Mumbai like anything.... just think if we get infra like metro than how beautiful this city could be...... ouch!!!! Day dreaming..

Small clarification, rest of the cities are eqully bad when it comes to traffic management. Our people just do not know how to manage cities.

Ofcourse, traffic management is bad everywhere. I am from delhi and was in Mumbai in the last week of June. I was staying at Powai and used to drive down to Ghatkopar every day. The traffic situation is the worst in Mumbai. Not that i have anything against Mumbai, but i feel its just due to the lack of road space compared to Delhi. Here even during peak hours a drive of 25 kms would be over in 1 hour but when I was there, a drive from Churchgate to Powai took me 3 hours. And on my last day, the drive from Ghatkopar to domestic airport took me 2.5 hours. It was as good as driving down to another city to catch a flight. Moreover the slums have also taken up alot of space which could haave been put to better use. Hats off to our politicians for creating this mess.
