Theo Leggett
Mumbai
http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201303/201303290106372387052.mp3That's Theo Leggett in Mumbai – a city which he describes as a potent symbol – a powerful symbol – of India's economic success.But that success has come at a price
– in other words, there is a negative side to the story.
Yes – the traffic, which he describes as a maelstrom – so a confusing, chaotic mix of vehicles which are crammed – bumper to bumper, so squeezed closely together in the city's streets.
So when the commuters start their journeys - or get behind the wheel - in the morning rush-hour – the busiest time of day – they could spend hours just trying to make a relatively short journey to work.
Well I think it would be quicker to walk! That's certainly a good option in London, where research has found that traffic is slower now than it was 100 years ago.
So is this the end of the road for cars?
