Such is the traffic situation in Mumbai that a poll conducted by the Twitter handle 'Roads of Mumbai' has revealed that 88 per cent of the 718 people who participated in it had to cancel their plans of attending family functions and events because of the city's chock-a-block condition. The poll, conducted by Andheri resident Nisarg Mehta, was based on the question – 'Have you recently cancelled your plan to attend a family function or any event in Mumbai because of traffic issues'? It started on August 17 and continued for a week till August 24.

According to data from the poll, while most people said that they had to cancel their plans due to severe traffic issues, only 12 per cent of the participants disagreed on this point. Many citizens have even shared their experiences.
