Riding the local train in Mumbai, India

[2008gd]

Not @ the right place to shoot the video. You got to stand near the entry/exit doors of upcoming stations. You just hav to stand there. You will be pushed out or pushed 'in in no time. and have to stand cramp for almost the entire duration. At peak hours these are so crowded people hand loose from Windows outside....

[cgdakshata]

OMG I miss it...I am staying in UK now for past few years..Here they have those clean , comfy trains...u get place to sit...easy to travel..but can not find this spirit anywhere around....

[Panter4]

Is this rush-hour?

[idealabs77]

[Ronnie11789]

its actually quite a lot of fun travelling in one..blind people come & sing in the train,people tip them....& then some marketing people come & try to see innovative stuff..man its an awesome experience...

[AmelieYvette]

To each their own and it's great that they're happy but on my commute to and from work I am glad people keep their mouths shut. I just want quiet especailly on my way home from work.

[aussiekwv]

And to think the wimps on the Gold Coast is claiming the trains from The Coast to Brisbane is comparing the so called over crowding to be like this.

[ph0t0g1rl]

Amazing. It's crowded but friendly. =)

[fullstack2]

i could only imagine what it smells like.......(not bc there indian only bc its so dam crowded)

[destroycreate]

actually indians are raelly big on bathing and keeping clean, they tend to have a herbal, incense-smelling scent, because they bathe in exotic oils and what not. i thought body odor would be very common india but that is way more of an arab thing. indians are really into being formal and clean-cut looking, at least that's what i experienced in mumbai

[123kalo]

I miss Mumbai a lot. I salute the spirit of the city.

[im12yrsonly]

oh man

i so miss being in india

i love it there

btw

theyre singin something from the bhagvat gita(hindu bible)

its some kind of worship song

[thinkinrich]

this is india

[MONZAAUT]

It´s like Brazilian trains.....but here in brazil, we play some pagode and samba....

[piancu]

that is cool.. people on buses in the United States are stone statues..

[phantomofthedrivein]

I wish people adored my commute.

[Integrity2345]

THATS simply awesome

[DuMyth]

Now thats socialising :)! We should learn to be united as them folks

[coolantmanuscript]

That was awesome. Wish I was there.

[smodeLL]

[lookyeahhohon]

did you hold your nose????

[foreveranuj]

after the hymns, I thought some Reggae would be next! ... but the video ended! lol!

[pantaloon20]

amchi mumbai zindabad!!!

[respondindia]

You must be born in mumbai.Have you seen other world?

[onegoodman66]

bad road and railway system kill tens of thousands of ppl each year in India. India has a long to way infrastructure wise.

[inmayakul]

@onegoodman66: bad driving on roads account for most of those deaths. the railways have an incredibly low fatality rate, even compared to any form of transport anywhere. consider this: indian railways carry ~17 million people per day, that's close to 6 BILLION people a year. no other system in the world could come close. the konkan railway is a marvel in civil engn. bombay's locals smash london's tube in # of people, and easily match it in reliability. and yet, they're so cheap!!

[speaker00001]

Central and Western Railway was forced to release under the Right to Information Act that at least 20,706 people have died in the last five years; an average of 10 each day. The request was filed by Mumbai activist Chetan Kothari. 10 each day seems like a fair bit. But trains will be trains and people will be people.

[Spiritananth]

such is the sprit of the people that islamic terrorists have executed bomb blasts multiple times in such crowded traind...but an hous or so latrer people travel again in the same trains in same crowded fashion.... Thumbs up to the Mumbai people and may god bring these islamic terrorist pigs to justice by slaughering them before these innocent people who just travel to earn their daily bread...

[wajame]

Is the intolerance and ingnorance that your are showing, the real cause of the terrotist acts

Very good video, i expect in my country some day , all of us love our own culture like they do.

[bandi7777]

Pay your taxes and bring up your kids without corruption, we would have the best Infrastructure in the world.

[zareena17]

greatest infrastucture in asia.bull shit

come out from your dreams. what about un solved crimes, what about crimes never been reported, what about gangs fight for 50 pence how many people sleep on stations, bus stops, under bridges and foot paths. face this realty you day dreamer and bit of------and in this situations whatch out your pocket mate

[coolpump22]

the discussion is about the trains in mumbai and not about the crime situation in the city...What has your comment to do with if the infrastructure is great or not.You wont understand the greatness of mumbai trains unless you become a part of it, If you were a part of it and still didnt get why its great,then i feel sad for you

[curiousquestions]

What a wonderful sociological insight into one of the greatest infrastructures in Asia - the Indian train, particularly the Mumbai train. Mass of people, mass of consciousness and mass that is quite helpful. Large population, yet has so few killings and murders for its size and crowd, compared to some developed countries. Very telling. Thank you for the lovely video. I hope you will post more with commentaries (of many parts of India).

[fabul0z]

thx a lot. unfortunately i only have this video of my travels to india. you have to wait till next time ;)

[onegoodman66]

@curiousquestions, you must have been living on a different planet. bad road and railway system kill tens of thousands of ppl each year in India. face the fact! Do something to let India's poor benefit from the economical growth.

[kwvaussie]

PS Because at least you can sit down many times on The Gold Coast trains.

[kwvaussie]

If the people who travel from The Gold Coast to Brisbane, accept and see reality.

They can see that trains from The Gold Coast to Brisbane are not even bad compared to trains in Mumbai.

[Neptune1211]

Haaaa! We Indian are freakishly unique!!!!

(Now I am expecting some stupid paki to commentsmthing really absurd! Ah well!!)

[kwvaussie]

And jealous nep?

[fabul0z]

[dododagreen]

[OwigamiHey]

Random singing on a train...

[franciscan2007]

yuck i used to live in bandra next to salman khan place,,always sick cuz of dirtness and poverty like dirty pakistan ,,,zindabad

[pavan9]

which world are you living , there is no place in the world where dirtiness and poverty doesn't exist , especially where people like you exist there is always poverty

[paalu]

Actually, that isn't very crowed compared to a really stuffed train in HK or Tokyo...

[sunny77f]

i went from churchgate to borivali - such a long one!

[PureDeception500]

what is one white woman doing in the train with all those men?

[fabul0z]

she is my girlfriend and we were travelling with a lot of luggage from Thane to CST, to spend our last day in India in Downtown Mumbai.

[fabul0z]

ups, sorry i just deleted the other comment. well .. we exited the train halfway, because we could not stand the thightness in there, so we continued our journey by taxi. so much easier!

[smodass]

Nice Kirtan. I remember these from the Local trains in Bombay.

[kwvaussie]

People from The Gold Coast in Queensland. thinks travelling on the trains to and from The Gold Coast is the same as travelling on trains in Bombay especially in number of people on the trains.

[matthewqf]

so awsome.. i loved it.

[abhaygshah]

[fabul0z]

such is the sprit of the people that islamic terrorists have executed bomb blasts multiple times in such crowded traind...but an hous or so latrer people travel again in the same trains in same crowded fashion.... Thumbs up to the Mumbai people and may god bring these islamic terrorist pigs to justice by slaughering them before these innocent people who just travel to earn their daily bread...

[nkl4u]

the trains are so crowded but people do not argue on standings in such a crowd where even taking breath at times becomes a luxury....people do not quarrel.thats the spitit of MUMBAI.Salute MUMBAI.Thanks for such wonderful memories

[nkl4u]

remembered my days in mumbai.used to travel Thane-Ghatkopar.People r passing time by saying prayer playing tradional Hindu instruments 'Jay Jay RAM KRISHNA HARI'(Great Great LORD RAMA LORD KRISHNA Bless all).

[sorrymeagain]

Well I don't know you seem to romanticize allot the way of life there. I most be agree with you because I don't know your level on this planet. It is so that I met allot of friendly people but not so much with the rich. The train! Well yes this and much other was a shock to see how the need to survive, sometime I think where is God here ... Pls help this world etc.
