Traffic jam is the truth today. Wherever you are, in the city, on the outskirts, traffic jams are the norm. In a city like Pune, at any point of time, morning to evening, this midnight to next midnight, every second, each minute, there is a terrible traffic jam.
Why is it so? Well, there are varied vehicles, countless cars, autocratic autowallahs, two-wheelers twisting and turning on the road, loathsome lorries, and bicycles. At times, you may even get to see a bullock-cart and a horse-driven baggi.
Well, why such many and any vehicles? The culprit is the EMI. People juggle money thus, and show off. Every family hence has at least two two-wheelers and two cars. When the number of newer vehicles thus explodes every day, any number of flyovers would not be enough.
The public transport possibly could be efficient, clean, and on time. May be, then many may use it and thus would reduce the chaos. Similarly, as in the international metro cities, there should be a very heavy toll when it cones to the major city centers. People would not take out cars then!
Never know though! Everybody cribs about the petrol prices, and yet the city bursts at seams with vehicles!The traffic jams are, moreover, due to the lack of civic sense. The drivers must follow traffic rules, and jump neither the signal nor the lanes!
Well, roads are narrow, and just building fly-overs may not be a solution. The metro train with a chain of autos with fixed fare could ease a bit of some road rage, I suppose. Is not there a need to limit the number of vehicles? Would that solve the huge chaos at Hinjewadi, and beyond, that is, on the express way where the weekend traffic jam is the norm.
You never know though! Remember that terrible traffic jam at the Everest!?! Hope sense prevails!
Pratima@Terrible are the traffic woes!
