Delhi Traffic Association

Indians want to use everything as much as they possibly can. Now this is a great thing to do in most cases. But in the case of driving I would not advise it.

In India, traffic is a huge problem. And its greatly because of this mentality that they want to use every square inch of the road as humanely possible. On a three lane road, cars somehow create two more lanes and make it a 5 lane road. When we stop at a traffic light, I am not able to even open my door because the car next to us is so cramped up. If all the cars were white and you are looking down at the traffic from a helicopter all you will see is one massive white box in front of the traffic light.

Anyway, the Delhi Traffic Association is doing their part to improve the traffic. In fact, from the International Airport in Delhi to where I live, traffic going in the same direction has been seperated by a divider. The left two lanes for buses and trucks and right two for cars. Needless to say, traffic had improved. Then suddenly it got very terrible. Now I was baffled, why would traffic suddenly be so bad? When I found out why, I was baffled at the Delhi Traffic Association. These geniuses had put a bus stop on the right side road. So all buses who were moving along fine now had to cut through and opening in the divider into the cars traffic and move to the extreme right side to reach the bus stop. They then had to cut back to another opening in the divider and go back into their side of the road.

Baffling. Just baffling
