It's so nice to be back. Good old Mumbai.
If there's one thing I can say about public transport over the country, BEST by far is the best of the lot. Chennai is unbelievably crowded and I did notice a gender division in the buses. Kinda weird. Bangalore has great buses but everything is printed in Kannada so that never really helps an outsider. Delhi conductors sit on their asses like kings and wait for commuters to push their way through the crowd to buy their ticket.
I can even vouch for the rickshaw service too. Bangalore guys get wonky with their fares starting in the evening. Chennai rickies ground you with deadly fare deals( if you're a non Tamilian and you don't know how to strike the right chord with them ) and Delhi fares are forever rigged. That or they'll take you for a very very long ride.
Mumbai may have grumpy rickshaw boys but at least the meter is flagged down every time. So what if some of them are rigged? Better than demanding a Rs. 150 for a 20 min ride!
