You don’t have to pay at all. You can still go via the existing old bridge which takes 2.5 hours (instead of 20 mins) and u will burn Rs. 250 of petrol. Your choice.
Socialism. What a brilliant idea- the world is full of successful “redistribution of wealth” initiatives- everyone wanted to live in the erstwhile Soviet Union, Cuba etc. Capitalism has failed miserably in all under devolved countries like the US, Europe and now China.
So Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai………are “worst than Sub- Saharan Africa”?? He needs to either go back and stay in DC or go travel these places.
Goa Taxi Mafia has to end. Customer exploitation has to end. India is a free country. Let them compete with GoaMiles, Uber, Ola, Rapido. Let customers decide.
Its lack of privacy and normalcy which drives this more than the wealth aspects. I am sure they crave simple things like sitting in a coffee shop, going for a walk in the park, watching a movie- without getting ambushed. Specially for their kids. Not possible in India.
That’s why people want to be civil servants. You can break the law, exploit employees leading to a massive diplomatic crisis- but still keep your job and fail upwards.
Capitalism is the only system that can remove widespread poverty (US and now look at China). Communist system makes everyone poor. Socialism ensures no one prospers. Only those on the top become wealthy. I’m disappointed that we still have communism and socialism active in India.
Why I wrote the first cheque for Rapido- A sector focused seed fund makes us contrarian, use first principal thinking to identify opportunities & build market leading businesses in a capital efficient and disciplined way @rapidobikeapp@advantEdge_vc
Industries/ SME / Institutions pay more to subsidize those getting free electricity. Again it’s the “freebies” that hold us back. No free lunch. Socialism Zindabaad.
