Mumbai wastes more time in jams than any other city in the world: Report

报道:孟买交通拥堵造成的时间浪费比其他城市都更多

MUMBAI: Mumbai motorists face the worst traffic jams in the world, according to a recent global study based on statistical analysis of GPS data. The report said commuters in the city spend 65% more time on the roads during peak hours than when the roads are free. It put the city ahead of Bogota, Lima, Delhi, and others as the most congested city on its TomTom Traffic Index 2018. In comparison, a New Yorker spends 36% more time on the roads during peak hours.

孟买：根据最近一项基于GPS数据统计分析的全球研究，孟买的驾车者忍受着世界上最严重的交通拥堵。该报告称，在高峰时段，通勤者在路上花的时间比在畅通无阻时要多出65%。在2018年TomTom交通指数中，孟买排在波哥大、利马、德里和其他城市之前，成为最拥堵的城市。相比之下，纽约人在交通高峰期在路上花的时间要比其他时段多出36%。

So, why did things come to such a pass and will it get any better? Activists point out that the situation may only get worse in monsoon.

为什么孟买的交通状况会恶化到这样的地步，能改善吗?活动人士指出，在雨季，情况只会更糟。

Illiterate drivers- educated ones are more illiterate. We create 3 lanes in place of 4 and so on, no one follows traffic rules, parking on the roads wherever the driver thinks right based on his convenience is our traffic rule, now driving in reverse direction is so common that while crossing the road, pedestrians have to watch vehicles on both sides to protect themselves. Bribing policemen is so rampant that both - the giver and taker have no shame or guilt. Enforcing rules is not our motto - breaking rules is.

司机都是文盲, 不遵循交通规则,为了方便就把车随意停在路边。

现在逆向行驶也很常见，过马路的行人应注意来往的车辆，保护好自己。贿赂警察之风是如此猖獗，已经到了行贿者和行贿者都没有羞耻感和罪恶感的地步了。循规蹈矩不是我们的座右铭——打破规则才是。

MUMBAI RTO needs strict measures for Traffic voilations. for a city with around 25Million people man power fo agencies need to go up exponentially and technology should be used to fullest to have some improvement in situation. Sooner Metro under construction starts better for city

孟买应该严惩违反交规者。孟买是一个拥有2500万人口的城市，政府机构应该增加人手，充分利用技术，改善交通拥堵的状况。越早开始建地铁越好。

Yes hopefully with the Merto lines fully functional in 3 years time a lot of people may hopefully switch to commuting by Metro. The planned Metro coverage is very good actually.

希望孟买地铁能在3年内投入使用，到时候很多人会选择坐地铁上下班的。计划中的地铁覆盖范围实际上也挺大的。

How much can we fit into a box that is not scalable? It will always overflow. The city is saturated and policy makers need to develop another location for industries. People under stress are more prone to break rules.

水满则溢，这个城市已经饱和了，政策制定者应开发另一个工业基地。压力大的话，开车更容易违规。

Ignorant Mumbaikars still consider Mumbai to be the top city in the world... Its basically a city of slums.

无知的孟买人仍然认为孟买是世界第一…实际上孟买是一个贫民窟。

Brendon Fernandes• Mumbai • 1 day ago

Its definitely not a top city at all but its not all bad you know. My sister can walk hope at 2 am in the morning and she still feels safe. Mumbai is a relatively safe city and if you are ever lost lots of people will help you with directions.

孟买绝对不是一个顶级城市，但也不算差。凌晨2点，我妹妹独自在路上走也很觉得安全。孟买是一个相对安全的城市，如果你迷路了，很多人愿意帮你指路的。

Indians are selfish... they do not care for others .. it is the main reason for the traffic jams

印度人自私，不关心别人，只顾自己。这是造成交通阻塞的主要原因

People need to start using cycles for shorter commute. Even 1000s of people traveling by cycles in every suburb will reduce the pollution and congestion on the roads. And the offices should create a facility for the employees to work from home if possible.

人们还是骑自行车上下班吧，可以缩短通勤时间。即使有1000人骑自行车出行，也能减少污染，缓解道路拥堵。可能的话，公司应该为员工创造一个在家办公的机制。

Brendon Fernandes• Mumbai • 1 day ago

The situation should improve in 3 years time once the Metro lines start functioning. That should encourage a lot of people to keep their cars at home and use the Metro. The coverage map is very good.

一旦地铁开通，情况会在3年内得到改善。地铁开通后，很多人会把车留在家里，坐地铁出行。地铁覆盖区域很大的。

Poor city planning, no city infrastructure, small roads, improper government , corruption and 70 yrs of Congress rule are the reasons for problems in today's Indian cities.

城市规划太差了、基础设施不足、道路狭窄、政府管理不当、国大党长达70年的统治，这些造成了当今印度城市的现状。

Richest Municipality in the world but Dirtiest city to live .average commute time is 4-5 hours daily which is rediculous.

jams are more due to illegal encroachment , bad conditions of roads and illegal parkings on the roads.

孟买是全球最富裕的城市，也是最脏的城市。上班族每天平均通勤时间是4-5小时，太吓人了。

很多孟买人其实不需要开车出行，搭乘公共交通就很好。开车只是为了炫耀他们多么有钱。

Speeds less than 10 kmph. Simply switch to cycling, you will easily get 15 kmph and less pollution, noise etc.

开车时速不到10公里，还不如骑自行车，时速随便都能骑到15公里每小时，产生的污染和噪音还更少。
