Bikers of Mumbai - what can we do to reduce your need to honk Basically same as title... I see bikes and scooters using their horns more than their accelerator or brakes... Even if there is no reason or no point in honking, they will continuously do it. I disregard it most of the time but it's starting to get intolerable nowadays. 1 12 replies

Budget friendly places In the western suburbs Hey Mumbaikars! I'm looking for recommendations for places in the western suburbs that have a similar vibe to Bottles & Therapy in Andheri – you know, cozy, intimate, maybe a bit dimly lit, with music and a relaxed atmosphere. But the main condition is the budget. Thank You! 4 0 replies
In a sub that cribs about the lack of civic sense in India, why is this sub so okay with public smokers There was a post made by a guy who was fined for public smoking by a cop. The cop taking his cut was a shitty thing to do; But imagine if the guy was caught by a cop for spitting gutkha or peeing in the public. Nobody would've supported the guy in that case. 2 0 replies
My mom got sexually assaulted I don’t know where to start. This morning, at 6:50 AM, the garbage collector came to our door, and when my mom opened it, he flashed her.

But to my heartbreak, not a single neighbor came to help. Most of them turned their backs on us, too busy with their own lives to care. I... 5 0 replies

There is literally no place for pedestrians to walk upon. The condition is so pathetic here that even morning walks have become difficult due to the construction dust. I... 3 0 replies

Has the quality and reliability of Mumbai Local drastically deteriorated in the past couple of years? I'm surprised I haven't seen more people talking about this. Now Locals were hardly ever something you looked forward to. Unless you were too lost in the sauce of the proverbial sprite. But I don't remember it being this bad. Two or three years ago, trains could be expected to run on time (at least on Bombay Time™ — which is a few mins late) but you'd reasonably get one every 4-5 mins, and a ten minute delay was seen as unusual. Nowadays, delays are the norm, not the... 3 11 replies
