some thoughts on public transporation in delhi

the last couple of days it has been raining a lot in delhi… finally! it has gotten so hot and humid it was so unbareable… it has been very hard for me to be able to get rikshas cuz delhi has some problems with its bus system right now… there has been lots of accidents with the blue buses and so those were taken off the roads…. immediately the whole public transportation system collapsed… because people were waiting, sometimes for hours, for a bus to come… those were mostly already bursting full with people and so people tried to ride or hang on the busses from outside… 3 people died because they fell off… the few rikshas made a shit lot of money cuz there was such a demand… and the metro: well it´s peaceful and nice to travel that way but it doesn´t go very far and has not yet spread evenly around the city… so in my area for example it´s not available yet…
