What an amazing traffic sense these swedish people are having... Hats off.. :-)
17th may, saturday.. Planned to go out to marked with my senior (Amit)
While walking on the street we needed to cross the road.. and a speeding car was coming..
I stopped there only, but Amit crossed the street with ease..
When I reached the other side he said.. 'abe ruka mat kar.. paidal chalne walo ki first priority hoti hai yaha par.. :-)
Agar woh tujhe touch kar deta car se, toh tu uski car mein pahunch jaata aur woh teri jagah sadak par aa jaata.. :D) '
And i really observed the same sense many a times.. bus or car, everybody would stop if you wanna cross the road.. infact electronic controllers are there at the crossing sides, when you press them.. walking light will turn green and traffic light for vehicles will go red.. and you pass like a king.. :-)
Purchased bus pass for 200SEK (around Rs1300, haan lut gaye bhai.. :P)
its just like our metro pass.. but each journey on bus costs 12 SEK
anyways we boraded in the bus.. mercedes bus :D.. GPS enabled..
There is an electronic ticket checking maching, you just insert your card it deducts the amount..
and you go into the bus...
becuase GPS is there, you just dont need to worry which place has arrived.. it keep on showing the next stop.. when you see your stop has come.. just press the button 'stop' provided on every stop, and the driver would stop the bus for you.. :-)

Abey this is not traffic sense....Its a rule bhai....Dis is wat d concept of zebra crossing is.
Anywhere in the world where zebra crossing exists, if a pedestrian puts his foot on the road, all the vehicles which have to pass through that zebra crossing have to stop their cars.
I think bas yeh India mei hi nahi hota funda. :D
