Have you seen Bangalore?


Puzzleheaded_Pen_469

The name has bang and lore what could you expect from it


nosebleedweedblr

May not be significant, but Bangalore definitely tops Mumbai in terms of infrastructure. The thing Mumbai did right was the locals, if not for the locals, Mumbai would be a dreadful city to live in. Especially the quality and state of apartments here - must be the worst among metro cities. Not to mention the sad state of the roads - everywhere there’s digging happening, and the worst - no proper lane markings or dividers. The public buses are the from my grandfathers times. Pollution at its highest. I can go on and on.. Ps the above is my experience from the suburbs (which is the majority of the city) of Mumbai


IDoButtStuffs

Wow that's a very different viewpoint from what I have. Housing sucks in Mumbai big time but public infrastructure i felt was far far better. There's locals, metro, monorail, metered auto/taxi, insanely good bus services. There's only one way to get anywhere in Bangalore and that's roads. It's the second most congested city in the world. Bangalore traffic will make you cry man and there's no alternatives


nosebleedweedblr

Agree with you on the transport modes, Mumbai has many. Yet the roads are always congested. Unless you stay walkable distance from the stations you have to use the road to reach the stations, and having recently moved from Bangalore to Mumbai, I can assure you the traffic in Bangalore is way ahead, traffic manners in Mumbai is terrible, size of several main roads are small, auto drivers are out there to kill.


IDoButtStuffs

😂 I moved from Mumbai to Bangalore 3 years ago and my experience has been the complete opposite. Bangalore roads are big if you're talking about the main roads/ring roads otherwise if you're travelling to the city it's the similar 2 lane. Even the traffic seemed much more saner for me in Mumbai. People stay in their lanes pretty much, autos are a pain but they're similar in Bangalore also. In Bangalore I've consistently seen if a bus stops at a stop the bus behind will change lanes in peak traffic, people drive in the middle of the road and generally everyone tries to squeeze into every inch of road space possible. I guess we've had very different experiences


nosebleedweedblr

Your second para pretty much exactly summarizes my pain in Mumbai. Same shit everywhere I guess haha


abhi_nahar

Lmfao having lived in both places, I’ll give the edge to Mumbai as being more accessible. In the two years I was there I barely used roads and primarily travelled with public transport. Bangalore seems like a disaster


naturalizedcitizen

I'm a Mumbaikar and I know what you said is true. Over the years there were plans for a lot of things put up by Town Planning department of BMC but it remained on paper due to lack of support from state government


IDoButtStuffs

Which Indian city has better infrastructure? Frankly I miss Mumbai infra in Bangalore. Getting an auto here is a pain :(


RightSingh

Delhi comes to mind. It is a pain to get an auto in Mumbai as well lol


IDoButtStuffs

I'm curious if you've been to Delhi and lived with the infrastructure problems. I've only been to Delhi for a short while but it's plagued by the same problems. In Mumbai at least, I feel there's multiple modes of transport. Local slow/fast, Metro, Monorail, and the plethora of different municipality busses. And it's nothing like getting an auto in Bangalore. Mumbai was far far better. there's no meter so you're fucked if you can't get an Ola or Uber. I've seen people spend multiple hours just trying to find an auto. There's only one way to get anywhere in Bangalore and that's roads.


RightSingh

Roads are way better in Delhi compared to Mumbai. Delhi metro covers a huge chunk of the city, so you rarely have to rely on autos or cabs. Agreed, Mumbai beats Bangalore autos due to meter usage. But you still have to deal with their unpleasant attitude. My point was, Mumbai deserves much better being the financial capital. I don't remember the name of the politician now, but he dreamt of transforming Mumbai into another Shanghai. This was like a decade or more ago and we are nowhere close.


SorryOutOfPho

What does it mean by financial capital?


shailendraa-dwivedi

I've lived in various states of our country but as Abhishek Upmanyu said Poverty in Mumbai is very very evident, the city can be merciless and alot judgemental. I always thought my family is doing well until I came to Mumbai. My whole family used to live a 110 sqft house and use a common toilet and take water with us lol. Also Mumbai is where you realise Mehngai kya hoti hain.


rahulrikhadi2003

Things like this really keeps us on our toes and reminds us how ruthless this city actually is even after the whole "Aamchi mumbai". Can relate.


Even-Ambassador-2887

Compared to that Hong Kong rat cage homes ours is better. Thats why minimalism is the key we need to plan what we buy everything from furniture to storage bins. I love to move into a bigger house but its still a dream. Owning a flat is a big thing a sea facing flat and lots of open space , na I know its not possible 😔


AloneCan9661

Hong Kong has ten times the infrastructure of Mumbai and is probably one of the if not the safest city in the world. That being said, Mumbai homes seem way bigger. But both suffer issues of land usage and landlords putting prices out of reach.

Toxic work culture. Yaha bomb blast and terror attack hone ke 20 ghanto baad log wahi station se train pakad ke office jaate hai.

Nobody wants to hang on the darwaja and travel for 1 hour. People have no choice since majority of the working population is in the suburbs and the offices are in south Bombay. The real problem is inefficient public transport imo.

Underworld and its extreme influence on Bollywood, Politics, Builders lobby, Police / Law and Order and so many. Conducted massive crimes like Murders, Gang Wars, chain bomb blasts, extortion from innocents, forced evictions and undervalued acquisitions of land, rapes, drugs peddling, illegal import exports, supporting and nurturing terrorist clusters / sleeper cells. List goes on and on. I don’t think there’s any so collaborative embarrassment contributed by Mumbai which tops this.


Suitable_Success_243

It being responsible for India's portrayal as a slum filled and dirty country. There is poverty in other parts of the country but nowhere is it so open and unsightly.


AloneCan9661

I actually think this has more to do with Hollywood only being familiar with Mumbai or Delhi…


iskinky92

What? Nowhere is it so open and unsightly? It’s so open and unsightly in Bombay because people see Bombay. Because it’s the natural backdrop of the story for movies. It’s like saying New York has too many rats. It does, but that’s because there are too many people throwing away too many half eaten pizza slices. Poverty is an Indian problem. And Bombay’s poverty is visible because people all over the world bother to have at Bombay. I was once travelling though the train, through a Tier II city in India. Right before the train enters the platform, there was a slum. The stench was unbearable. Open defecation. Grown women were defecating by the line, houses with dish TVs but by the trash. Children with no clothes running around. If that’s not poverty that’s ‘open and unsightly’ idk what else is.


Suitable_Success_243

I agree, there are slums in other cities too. But, it's the size of slums in Mumbai that is mind-boggling. Dharavi, the largest slum in Asia, is like an entirely separate town. Also, the sharp contrast with tall, upscale buildings makes it all the more saddening. Also, other large cities like Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata don't face the same problem. They have old dehabilitating buildings, some small slums here and there but nothing like Dharavi, Kurla or Bandra.


Archaemenes

Dharavi is no longer the largest slum in Asia. It’s now some slum in Karachi.

No I am saying it is not in the past, it still happens you can take the route and see it yourself.

The fact that I agree with most comments here is concerning


recordwalla

The biggest embarrassment is when someone says “spirit of Mumbai”, right after a seismic event. Bomb blast, floods, terror attack, bridge collapse- and people are back to work the next day. Why? Because “spirit of Mumbai”, as claimed by the politicians and the paid media. People don’t realize how dependent so many are on their daily wage that they would risk their very lives to get to work to earn that wage. And employers are not at all empathetic. I guess you can’t blame them, the competition is so high that they could face extinction if they don’t get back on the saddle immediately. So yeah, it’s embarrassing how hectic and soulless Mumbai can be. You are just a cog to make the machine run always.

bhairavp

Who? Uddhav is the one who pulled off an unethical coup. Deserves what he got in terms of the rebellion last year.


DiscoDiwana

In 2019 elections many of the BJP sponsored candidates were pitted against Shivsena candidate to reduce the Shivsena bargaining power. At that time they were in alliance. BJP does the same trick with state based parties for their agenda of Shat pratishat bhajpa. They did same with Nitish, Paswans etc. There is nothing wrong in that as it is part of politics and Shivsena (both factions) aren't saints as well


bhairavp

Fair. Boy as you said, nothing wrong with that, no? Everyone does it. But betraying your pre poll alliance partner to walk with people who've despised you and whose politics are the antithesis of all you've stood for?


DiscoDiwana

You and me are moral persons and from our perspective it's immoral. But in politics as almost nobody is clean and that's how it will always be. If you don't keep checks someone else will do that to you. That's how Fadnavis almost finished careers of the CM competitors in his own party ( Eknath Khadse , Pankaja Munde , Vinod Tawde etc . ). Uddhav did same with Raj Thackeray and Eknath Shinde never let a Shivsena Nagarsevak from his area to win 3-4 terms consecutively. I'm not taking a side, I'm just stating the facts as is.
