Some unsaid rules of Mumbai transport mechanism

  1. Always stand in queues, be it train ticket counter, auto/taxi stand, bus stand etc.
  2. In local train the person at gate will always make way for the people off/on boarding at station, if he blocks the way than he is to be pushed and then whatever happens to him/her is neither our responsibility nor interest
  3. If you stand between the space available between two seat rows , then its your responsibility to keep everyone's bag at the place given above and if somebody vacates the seat near you, then you will be the one sitting on that seat
  4. Auto rickshaw will charge as per meter only, no matter how short or long the distance is.
  5. Its absolutely safe for girls to travel back home by train even if it is the last 1:40 am local
  6. No talks with strangers while transportation, at the max hi hello..the principle is live and let live..and do not interfere
  7. Always run and rush to catch your local even if it is fully empty, and also jump before the train stops if you are at gates and rush to the fob. Run run run keep running atleast walk fast.
  8. Never ever attempt to eve teasing coz you will never know how many ppl(other than the gal) will kick your ass.
  9. Its perfectly ok if somebody steps on your foot in train or bus. No regrets or apologies
  10. Once again RUN RUN RUN...KEEP RUNNING...

.seems its a combo of kolkatta locals' rush and principles of "daily passengers" (as it is termed) with a pinch of pune safety
after all, MUMBAI meri jaan.....yeh hai mumbai nagari..[:)]
