Are We Serious in Streamlining of the City Traffic …?

We are facing the hardships on day-to-day life due to the city traffic problems which are due to the Infrastructure Development in the form of Road- Widening , New Flyovers for reducing the Traffic Congestion in the Arterial Roads, laying of the New Optic Fiber for the Improvement in Communications and Many Others reasons. This also further compounded by the Non-Compliance of the Traffic rules by the so-called Public Transport Providers in the form of MTC better known as Most Troublesome Corporation , Auto rickshaws and add to the misery with the latest inclusion of the Share Auto / Meter Taxi.


This has in fact led to the Owner vehicles to Deviate / Break the Traffic Rules which in turn makes life difficult for all people – whether they travel in Mass Transport System , Owner Driven Vehicle or be a pedestrian.


What is mystifying is that whenever it comes to the Public Service Provider be it MTC , Water Tankers , Today’s Neel Metal Fanaca or the Yesterday’s CES Onyx, they tend to breed a feeling that they are in turn doing a huge favour on the Society / City and the Humanity by providing such a service.

A typical Example of that is the MTC Buses failing to halt at the designated bus stop, making it more inconvenient for the people dependant on the Public Transport Systems to chase bus in all directions instead of waiting in a decent queue in the Bus Stop, they tend to be scattered all over the Road in the anxiety to board a Bus. In the bargain making the most of the advantage are the Auto rickshaws, Share Autos / Meter Taxi occupying the Bus Stop to make the most of the waiting commuters who have urgency to reach some desired destination to carry out some task or those who are trying to get back to home after a tiring day’s work.

After that we would dwell a little time on the Signal Jumping and Lane Discipline not being followed by the Public Service Provider be it MTC, Water Tankers, Today’s Neel Metal Fanaca or the Yesterday’s CES Onyx and feel that the way they are performing itself is a blessings on the Society / City and the Humanity who are dependant on the services, Arrogance personified by them in duty owing to the fact that Traffic Police also turns a blind eye towards such Acts of the Public Service Personnel.

Are we are looking at streamlining the City Traffic? The Answer is both Yes & No. The Answer is yes, when you are not traveling on the Road, but when you are caught in the traffic jam or insane traffic conditions the Answer is Emphatic No.

The essence of the Subject is that we all need to work consciously towards a decision whether you are driving or not, we must mandate the fact that Rules are Essential for the Smooth Functioning and all must ensure that they are all in intact in all extreme conditions.

The final word on the Subject – So many times we have seen an Ambulance Stuck in the Traffic – what are fighting for? Traffic or Life…
