Going to Our Next Stop ...

I've posted before about the traffic in Pune ... well ... here are some shots of that "organized chaos" as we were making our way to the second stop of the day - the Raja Kelkar Museum.

Pune is in the Guiness Book of World Records has having the most two-wheeler accidents in the world ....... ummmmm ........ yeah ........ Pune has the most two-wheelers, period!

The exhaust from all those cars, buses, mortobikes ... along with the dust from construction and the side of the roads ... is not the most pleasant of things (obviously). So many here will wear a mask or scarf over their nose and mouth. And people will just hop in and out of vehicles right in the middle of the street.

Pedestrians are another matter entirely ... there is no such thing as crossing a street at the corner. You cross the street at any place you darned well please ... traffic weaving around you as you go to the other side.

I have been amazed each and every time at the traffic here.
