Our World Tuesday # 11 Mumbai Traffic

A Street Shot during the morning rush hours near Andheri Sports Complex.
All in a hurry to reach somewhere. The man pushing the handcart saw some place and rushed in before the bike rider could, while the lady with a small child in her arms hurried into the bus which is nowhere near the bus-stop.
The beauty of Mumbai lies in the chaos of the city, and tolerance towards each other.

 Click below to see photographers from all around the world, share photos of their world and tell us a little bit of the story about the place.

Mumabi Metro Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopapar (VAG)

 

This is the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) metro construction ongoing on Versova road in Andheri West. The pillars and staircases have blocked entrances to many restaurants, shops in this stretch, also blocking building gates, breaking down compound boundary walls. Most of these buildings are more than 25 years old, and there is speculation about how the buildings will react to the vibration once the Metro line is operational here.

What do you have to say about the Mumbai Metro (VAG)?

Train Ads

Advertisements on Mumbai Local trains have become very common nowadays.

Ads like this one 'A TV soap about shaadi- marriage, sasural - home after marriage, usually a joint family, sasumaa -mom in law' are best advertised on Ladies compartments, and increase the TRP of TV soaps. As soon as women passengers see a train like this, they begin to discuss the storyline and lo --the soap is soon popular.

This one 'Mera Sasural' is on all the compartments of the train.

Dadar Railway Station

Dadar is the only railway station in Mumbai, common to both, the central line and the western line. It is a transit point and the most crowded railway station on the Mumbai Suburban Railway. The crowd you see in the photo is at non peak hours.(Oops, I'm a bit late. My internet connection had a problem)
