Mumbai…a city which heavily depends on BEST buses and its local trains….a city which cribs that these facilities are overcrowded, not comfortable….a city which has on several occasions been given a chance to travel in style…but no…I would say that these new modes of transport did not fail…Mumbai failed.
From private intercity A/c buses to AC cool cabs….everything has failed in Mumbai. For one Mumbaikarrs know just to crib about being overcharged and at the same time ready to pay and frown in the overcrowded buses and trains.
These private buses and cool cabs were not supported by our Government also. Our Government itself is incapable of providing quality services and when private players try to venture in, they are not helped by providing parking lots and even stops for them.
Pass from under any Mumbai flyover and you will find these buses and cabs rotting away, already having eroded the funds of the entrepreneurs who thought Mumbai could have better services and in turn they could earn from it.
Many might argue that Cool Cabs are still running, well they are , but looking at how they are maintained nowadays says a lot about cost cutting to me atleast.
We want services…we want them at dirt cheap rates…and would even prefer to have them cheap….
Having said that…I know people will use the Monorail and Metro…they will Pay but frown…..
Babaji, It is over. It is all over. You are like Hero, japanese soldier who surrendered after 40 years in the Phillipines jungles, thinking that the war was still on and his sargent had asked him not to ever surrender. His uniform was torn but he tried to stich it at hundreds of places, body was mostly bit by the mosquitoes, he did not rust his gun. I bet your gun has never rusted as you have never used it, you do not have many clothes on, sorry about that salvaar the police took away from you here at the Ramlila grounds, and the mosquitoes you can handle them as long as they do not bite at the right spots of picking such as in the nose, under the arms, on the eyes, in the ears and a few places below the belt, that you know where?
