Does this Chennaite, respect other Chennaite – MRTS

Drunken Man sleeping on MRTS Train

Drunken Man sleeping on MRTS Train

It is very common scene in Chennai MRTS, in spite of a written communication on the sides of the entrance cum exit, people occupy the area and make other co passengers uneasy, imagine during rush hours where people want to reach their office in time, because of these dumb people neither the crowd could easily enter or exit the cabin. The worst part is they don’t care for fellow passengers.

I am not even sure whether the drunken man on this photo carries a valid ticket. By the way there is valid message which says drunken travel could attract fine and punishment.

U Turn or No U turn

Check out the photos below, The Symbol almost says U turn unless you go really close you will be shocked to know that it states “No U turn”
Shouldn’t the Inverted U Symbol have a cross to denote No U turn

Displays a U turn from a long distance

Oh No, It say no U turn

Place is near VijayaNagar, Velachery Bus Stand terminus. Thanks to Peter Balaji, for pointing it out.

City Chennai, for some lighter side of life

My Grocery store at villivakkam, funny

The second line should have contained this word “parcel”. This sakthi store is at villivakkam, Annachi is a very friendly guy, but cannot help you with delivery, only parcel.

Chennai Traffic Police barricade, problem to Motorist

The above photo is the one on the Shathi Colony, AnnaNagar, after a left turn takes you to the main road which leads to Koyambedu Main road.

I have seen this chennai traffic police barricade for months, the on going traffic leads to safety of people who take the left turn, some time bikes skid on the road as the road become a bottle neck.

A kind request to chennai Corporation to fix the above place.

Does Chennai traffic police have to bear with this

Courtesy: The Hindu

I was reading to “The Hindu” this morning, and saw this article. I have been in the same place trying to cross the road to reach central sub urban railways station. The cops have no control over the crowd. Yeah, I did see the subway, as Ms. Selvi stated it was in a pathetic shape.

My question is does chennai traffic police has to hear all this, just because they are doing good.

They are trying to save our lives.

This is what chennai peoples mentality. Even if some one is helping you, you start pointing fingers.

Well if Chennai traffic police had the rules in the first place, they need not have to hear the words, which people state.

I had stated once at chennai.metblogs too.

Just an Update: I took the other subway which is messier and with lot of hawkers. The one close to the park town station is cleaner safer and  hawkers  free.

Wondering when would Chennai traffic police would take the same step of encouraging people to use safe subway at saidapet bus terminus. Wish that could come true.

Most Dangerous electric pole, Ever seen

This pole is made out of Iron, already rusted and ample wires pulling towards the road. I found this one at the Velachery near the vijay nagar bus stand.

Only the electricians can say whether they are dangerous or not. Wondering what would be situation if it rains and some one comes in contact with the pole.

Looks like some one on the Phone

Honk, No reply. Why? he is over the phone and driving.

This guy was the phone, and was on the extreme right side of the road. How do you expect one to overtake?

How many can sit in this Autoricksaw?

I captured this event, on the signal of tenampet via Koturpuram just opposite the IOC office. Every one in the auto where laughing and adjusting themselves.

There are 7 people in the auto including the driver. We are proving again, if caught, things can be managed.
