Before talking Cecil should try and cross by ferry during peak hours. all
these months there were two ferries, now there is only one. One literally
have to push yourself. I tried to be cautious and waited for the
passengers/two-wheelers, cyclists, etc to come out before going in, I was
left behind as there was no place, everyone pushing to get a place in the
ferry including the two-wheelers. Earlier on, when the two-wheelers had to
pay Rs. 2/- there were less of them, now that it is free, they just don;t
have any courtesy or manners for the passengers.
As I don't possess a car or a two-wheeler I find it very conveniente to
cross, I'm not being economic. I could have easily bought a car and kept a
driver, but thats not what I want. As public transport is conveniente, one
takes that.
