Mumbai traffic

Yes, am new to Mumbai. And Mumbai traffic is the worst I have ever seen anywhere in India. I know Blr is infamous for traffic and I have been there too, but Mumbai is just miles apart (no pun intended) when it comes to the unpredictability of going from point A to point B. Part of the problem is I believe are the locals which generate very little to no revenue at all (practically seen :P ). And the other part being the geography of Mumbai itself. But given the conscious and rich gentry of Mumbai, there have been no hue and cry in regards to improving this scenario. One needs a good 1 hour to travel just a mere distance of 4-5 kms. I mean, seriously what is going on in Mumbai?! Why aren’t the educated and powerful sections making no moves to solve this?

You're gonna have to be more specific my friend because I cover a distance of 42 kms in a maximum of 1.5 hours by local trains. What part of Mumbai is this rant about?

What time did you travel at? Where did you travel to, and where from? Did you check the estimated time on maps before traveling? You’re new to the city no, all of the above are factors you will learn to take into account, otherwise just use trains and you won’t complain too much. What happened in Bangalore yesterday, has never happened to me in Bombay in 28 years of living here. A similar incident occurred in Hyderabad too a couple of months back I think. Traffic is everywhere, knowing how to navigate it should be your mindset.

Public transportation is sorted. Local is lifeline. What are you ranting about?

There are. chokepoints,especially railway bridges which require an hour to get through, Bandra T-junction, Dadar overhead bridge, Elphinston/prabhadevi bridge; but most people choose their residence on the same side of their office: thats the first rule in Mumbai. Easier to get to Worli from Andheri (30km) via local than from Parel (3-4km)

Bangalore traffic is a great leveller. It never discriminates anyone on the basis of CTC

Just need some overview about Mumbai

So, i might get an opportunity at mumbai & the closest areas are worli, lower parel, mahalaxmi etc. I need some clarity about the living conditions there since i've heard that area is one of the most expensive ones in Mumbai. Now, given as to how bad traffic is, i don't want to find place which is too far from office. If anyone could give me an overview of how to settle there. Also, i've asked for 14-15 as base along with relocation help as well from the company, lets see what they have to say about that. Is that a good salary? (previous was 10+1) how is life there at Mumbai basically? professionally, personally, socially TIA

Leave if you don’t like

I’m born & raised in Mumbai. I have been meeting people from different sectors who are working in Mumbai. They come from different parts of India. All I hear from them is Mumbai is bad in terms of traffic, roads, expensive accommodation etc. If these people don’t like the city then they should simply leave and go back to their home town. Their govt is incapable of developing their states infra and creating jobs that’s why these people come here. Why don’t they stay in their state and make a difference. What is the point of constantly bashing the city ? These people are spineless, they don’t even care or want to improve Mumbai. They just want to make money & enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle here.

Daily Watercooler - 28th September

Hey folks, Hope it's going well. BLR folks who faced the ruthless traffic yesterday, hope you're in a better place now :p What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything, without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you.
