One of the hallmarks of a great city is its ability to guide its commuters and pedestrians from Place A to Place B. This was clearly not in evidence when a tourist bus driver, not knowing where he was headed a couple of days ago when he reached the Lalbaug Flyover, got so disoriented that he rammed his vehicle straight into its concrete barrier. Fortunately, no one was killed, only a few were injured.

This accident is symptomatic of what is wrong with transport infrastructure in Mumbai. Even leading landmarks in the city are often without any signage indicating what they are.
