Hey everyone, I’m 22, grew up in a Tier-3 city, and have been living in Pune for a while. A couple of days back, I visited Mumbai for the first time, and honestly, I am still processing the absolute shock.

I even tried the local train yesterday... I feel grateful I made it out alive! It was pure torture and felt like immediate mental burnout. I'm hoping Mumbaikars can share what unique things are considered the "norm" here.

The Auto Rickshaw Mystery: Unlike Pune, Mumbai barely had any autos in certain places. In some areas, there were absolutely ZERO autos, only black-and-yellow taxis. Why do autos completely disappear in parts of the city?

People Actually Follow Traffic Rules?! Compared to Pune, people here actually follow lane markings, stop at lights, wear helmets, and barely honk. Coming from Pune, this felt like entering a different country. Why is the civic sense so high here? I mean , its not all thruout the city, but still :9

Police Presence: There were way too many traffic cops everywhere.…
