Drive them crazy!

SO YOU thought the roads of Manila, Tel Aviv, and Rome have been your best driving challenges? Wait till you come to Mumbai. Drivers in this city neither race with each other at the slightest provocation (like Israelis do) nor halt in the middle of the road to debate on the latest traffic regulation (like Filipinos do). But a typical Mumbai driver honks madly and comments on how idiotic the other driver is . . . before joining 1.8 million other vehicles the competition for honking the loudest and squeezing cars into that extra space on the road. And that's when the best driving challenges of your life begin. While most Mumbaikars travel within the city by train, around 655 vehicles navigate every kilometer of road length, compounded with 9,000 vehicles being bought every month. Enhance the snarl with the fact that only 2,500 cops form the Mumbai traffic force. But there's light at the end of the tunnel (or road, in this case). The good news is that the state government is reviewing the initiative by the city police commission to install an ambitious automated area traffic management system to ease the congestion. It remains to be seen how soon this system gets delivered. In my experience in Mumbai, deliveries get delayed in the city . . . because of the traffic.

very funny!!! ironic but i seem to miss the traffic and enjoy the FX ride from Baha'i Center to Quezon City or the bus going home to Los Banos with tita Fe :D.
FX rides are one of the best things about Manila! You ride and sleep in airconditioned comfort with the driver knowing how to avoid traffic. The only thing not nice about those rides is when your seatmate has bad breath and keeps talking on the cell phone.
this reminds me of my crazy 4 weeks in new Delhi! but the roads were more crowded and caws and goats were amongst the traffic too! in 2 minutes and 13 seconds of such a bizarre on this video no one managed to get into the accident! thanks for posting, Paul, it was very interesting to watch:)
