Skywatch Friday: Sky Hangout

Click image to view full-size

This huge billboard advertisement is the first thing you see as you come out of Vashi station and look up towards the sky. I saw the picture of Mumbai local train in peak hours with the caption 'hangout joint' and.....I knew this was my next Skywatch photo.

Click on the image to get a clear picture of Mumbai train travel during peak office travel hours.

    ohhh my gosh!!! I'm curious why the people are standing outside the train? It's so dangerous, are they allowed?

    Oh yeah, billboards rise up high sometimes to cover our view of the beautiful skies.

    Love the concept.

    Is English used in most posters? Or is it still a kind of ligua franca.

    Norm - This is a common sight during peak hours, but not in ladies compartments. The ladies stand half out at the door, not on the train windows. I wonder how Mumbai will have a metro train with closed doors, how will the doors close?

    Aileni - English and sometimes English with the national language Hindi is used in all billboards and posters in Mumbai.

    I've often seen similar shots on tv documentaries. I'm surprised more people don't kill themselves riding on a train in this way.
