Booked a Rapido. Driver called:
“Bhaiya, extra dena hoga.”
Booked an Uber:
“Bhaiya, fare bahut kam hai.”
Then why did you accept the ride?
Booked an Ola:
Driver confirmed, then cancelled after 5 minutes.
The entire taxi aggregator system in India is a mess. There is not a single app that feels customer-centric. Half the cars are poorly maintained, drivers keep negotiating outside the app, and cancellations are normalised.
Once someone travels to places like Dubai or parts of Southeast Asia, they realise how far behind our basic service standards are.
@KonkanRailway do the trains ever ply on time? Train no 12134 from Mangalore at 2:00 pm running late by 2 hours in a 5 hour ride without any rains or other reasons. @AshwiniVaishnaw you expect people to take public transport and yet no accountability to operate them on schedule
@mieknathshinde almost daily facing traffic jam on Pune mumbai expressway. No proper management. Still need to pay tolls. please do something.. @Dev_Fadnavis@abpmajhatv
@ThaneCityPolice@Dev_Fadnavis@mieknathshinde. This is on Ghodbunder Road exiting a residential complex. How and where do people walk over here? How many people should die before sense prevails on discipline wrt work and traffic management?
India isn’t playing like defending World T20 champions.
Batting looks vulnerable. Tilak & Surya are barely Stirling at 100. Kohli was criticised for playing at 130-140 strike rate & sharmaji senior was far more dominating.
Bowling also looks average.
Time to buckle up!
@InamdarSuchitra@MumbaiPolice This has become a menace and now beyond the control of @MTPHereToHelp . Two wheelers break traffic rules fearlessly and they are not even fined. It has become frustrating to drive. This menace is only going to get worst! Act before its too late. Start with heavy fines on them.
Sir, #Metro & #BEST need to start local feeder route bus services ASAP. Connectivity is worrisome. Ok, not in SOBO. But try getting down at the other end - Aarey Depot. I tried yesterday 🙁. #BKC - autos refuse or loot. @MumbaiMetro3@AshwiniBhide
As expected, Supreme Court has modified its Aug 11 order, directing that stray dogs be released back after sterilization and immunization.
If properly done, sterilization could significantly reduce the stray population, but in practice, it doesn’t happen.
Like any other govt work, the sterilization drive is yet another opportunity for sarkari karmchari to make money. They sterilize only a few dogs while billing for thousands. So-called sterilized dogs are sent back, they breed again, and no govt official is ever held accountable. Corruption within the municipalities is one of the major causes of the failure of the Animal Birth Control program.
So basically, we are back to square one.
This is Mumbai's Vakola Flyover opened in April 2025 with expenditure of over 100 crores
Repaired in May 2025.
Repaired again in June 2025.
Repaired again on July 10.
Imagine the level of Corruption in India 🤡
Shri @nitin_gadkari, even after paying all taxes and tolls, we still can't drive safely on highways.
This is what I saw on NH-7 yesterday: wrong-side driving despite the other side being open, and that too in the fast lane. 2, 3, 4-wheelers, all of them.
If one of them had crashed into me, they’d have received compensation, and I’d be stuck making rounds of the court.
Please do something about this. It’s not an exception, it’s the norm. I’m sure all of us have faced wrong-side driving on highways.
Saw a guy driving on the wrong side of the road in Mumbai. Instead of giving way, I drove my car straight up to him. Slow moving traffic. He had no way to go. Traffic cop showed up. Yelled at me for creating a situation. Forget enforcing rules, we often enable rule breaking.
