Why is public transportation in India very inefeccient?

Dude India has the 2nd highest population in the world (only a couple million short from China) and it's land is not very big like Mexico, China, or the U.S. So it would be crowed and some poverty. India not bad place either it's aweomse if you go other places. Mumbai is one of the crowded cities like Delhi. The transportation system is not inefeccient. It's pretty good I went to india in 2006 and went the metro in Delhi and it was pretty efeccient and fast.

You are comparing a small and underdeveloped country like Mexico with an economic giant called India. If you think Mexico is 1st world, where are its IT engineers? Nor does Mexico have a credible military or nuclear weapons. Nor has ever Mexico sent its own rockets and satellites in space. Above all, Mexico cannot and will never be able to match India's growing economical might. India is billed as the world's next superpower along side China and Mexico will need at least a century more to get there Yes, public transportation in India is crowded but when people there dont complain...why should you? Its just an Indian way of life. And from your description, you appear to have traveled India as backpackers or low budget tourists. Try doing it in style and you'll discover that India has lot more to offer than mere crowded trains.

Yes, It's efficient Because, The Scale of infrastructure, in respect to the Scale of Population and Requirement of Transportation systems is quite adversely contrary, And if you can Realise, The world Second largest Democracy of the World, It's Difficult to come to a good track so, it will take little time and effort, in order to improve communication as well as transportation, As You may be knowing, Communication and Transportation is Contrast to each other, If we will Improve communication, Frequent Transportation for silly purpose will decrease, And further Improve ment can be, Multi level Road Transport, Further Progress in Air-flights and of coarse with Population control, We can achieve the best of our transportation vivacious needs.

Mumbai is a very crowded city .It has too large a population for its size. Hence managing the Trains for such Huge population is very tough. This is not to take away from the fact that unfortunately Public Transport in most Indian cities is managed by Government Bodies where Corruption and Ineffeciency is still prevalent. While state governments have started to reform these ;it would still take Time and Additional Investments to improve the state of Public Transport. Do come and see Delhi Metro-It is very well maintained ,Punctual and Efficient . Hopefully ,situation in Mumbai too shall improve.

indians r least bothered about all that,they do not have time to look after theirown job.all r selfish,the trpt dept should take steps to limit the passengers according to the metro's capacity,should increase the frequency of trpt at peak times.

Because it is made to be affordable to everyone in India. I remember a TV show where they said you can get from 1 part of India to any other for less than $6. you get what you pay for.

Gone through your question and two sites. The problem is of discipline and moral.Over population is another problem.

The answer lies in your comments. YOu could afford to visit India only...right? And you got what you paid for. There is no free lunch my dear, you pay reasonaly good price for your travel, you travel comfortably. Also, please remember, 20 Mexicos are inside the what India is. Indian rail covers the longest rail track and carries poor people in an unthinkable cost, some said rightly....USD 12.00 for travelling 1958 kilometers (the distance between Kolkata to Bombay). That amount I used to pay in all developed country for travelling from the Airport to the City.
