Bombay Railway - A BBC Documentary - Part 1: Pressure 2/6

[@leoady21]

Bombay(Mumbai) is in my soul and my breath....I love Mumbai....

[@ajaychandar92]

I loved how the person in the office explained how much it costs, in US Dollar terms, to travel a kilometer on the Suburban Railway. It goes to show just how obsessed we are with mathematics!

[@ajaychandar92]

It takes some getting used to, but once you have begun doing it on a daily basis, you wouldn't want to use any other mode of transport.

those days were the golden days

[@eyestoenvy]

Excellent documentary

[@bigblackcat71]

beautiful documentary,thanks for posting

[@amits2878]

great documentary dude ... thanks for posting

[@onefingeredman]

@eyestoenvy before commuters enter the platform, there is a ticket counter from where they can purchase tickets. Regular commuters use monthly passes. Also, there are officers called TC who randomly board trains and check for any offenders. You won't believe, but out of the millions of commuters traveling everyday maybe less than 5% travel without a ticket.

Thanks for posting,,,this looks a little dangerous,,i would be very scared of that rush hour lol )

[@ajaychandar92]

Spoken like a true Mumbaikar, Farhan! :)

[@robertrobin10]

[@xxrony99xx]

We travel in that everyday and it keeps on going everyday.

Bombay is the greatest city in the world. Bombay is the oxygen for running this great country.

@paraaxis quality does not matter, if you want to get somewhere fast, if u want quality, you need time, and traffic is horrible and takes 10 times as long as a train

[@starling321]

London underground's rush hour now looks rather timid!

[@jaskaunke]

nice

[@paraaxis]

what about the quality of travel ???/can he explain

[@ayushmeena8803]

IT IS GOOD TO LIVE IN MUMBAI

[@shadegat3996]

+Ayush Meena Yes, it is very beautiful , but it's beauty is not just in the eyes, it is the culture and the people.It is subjective. I see how much has changed in the last 20 years and it has lost a lot to corporate dictatorship change. Never change! Stay yourselves , it is YOU who make India so great !

[@ayushmeena8803]

+Shadegat3 Yes you are Right.

[@RaeRae914]

Really? And do you possess this talent?

[@qjtvaddict]

plus it runs every 10 to 5 mins

[@eyestoenvy]

But how is the fare collected? I just see people boarding the trains like mad men, and people obviously crossing the tracks & there for trespassing onto the platform... how is the money made...?? Anyone? This is a GREAT documentary though, i love trains, and every great city around the world depend on them... (though ours are so dam expensive - regionally)

[@RaeRae914]

I believe this is true :):)

[@coolduedindia1988]

this is a very old documentary

[@shadegat3996]

If i moved to India tomorrow, i would elope and be right at home there.

[@KINGMJ1990]

You can't survive In Bombay,if you don't like the trains..

[@robertrobin10]

@:09 when a rupee was a rupee and when you have to take a pee you have to take a pee!!!!

[@KaptaanPakistan]

You can travel 500 miles on Indian trains for less than a dollar...talk about Wholesale marketing.

[@coolduedindia1988]

a train carries around 9000-10000 people at a time man

[@coolduedindia1988]

[@coolduedindia1988]
