Travelling - a half-hearted excuse and some additions

In a previous post, I called the B.E.S.T. buses "Evil Things". This may be a somewhat distorted view, as I recently learned that they only kill 40 people per year. In Bombay, that is. This is a mere percent of what the trains do. Ok, then.

Indian road traffic, by the way, produces more than 100,000 fatalities in a year - more than Malaria, Aids and TB together, and more traffic victims than in any other country on this planet.

An then, just when you thought that air travel would provide a safe alternative, this story leaks out.
