Subway continued
The subway system is fairly good. Punctual, frequent, and clean. The problem is with the people who use it. Maybe it's the novelty of the idea of a subway or it's their mentality or maybe it's the government's inabilty to educate the peple about uses of new infrastructure that is put in. Everyone seems to want to be the first one to get out of the train as well as to enter it - both at the same time. When the train stops, everybody inside wants to get out right away and of course the ones outside want to get in. Right before the train comes to a stop, everyone lines up (in the Indian fashion of course) with their faces touching the doors (on either side)You know the rest…panic follows, people getting trampled, pushing, shoving - the national pastime of india. What was even more shocking was if the car they're getting into was completely empty, they still want to get the first prize for getting in. I guess everyone has ambitions and goals in life - even those using the subway.
