Best way to avoid the insane traffic in Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar?

Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar

I swear, trying to get from the railway station to my aunt's place in Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar felt like navigating a particularly aggressive game of Frogger. Auto-rickshaws honking, bikes weaving in… more

Honestly, once you're in Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar, ditch the autos and embrace the local trains. They're packed, yeah, but way faster than battling traffic. Plus, it's a whole experience in itself – people-watching is amazing. For shorter hops within the suburb, consider using a ride-hailing app like Ola or Uber. It'll cost more than an auto but save you a ton of time and stress, especially if you're heading to markets. Just be sure to check the traffic before you order – even ride-sharing apps aren't immune to Mumbai's notorious congestion. Walking is also surprisingly pleasant in some areas, if the distance isn't too far. You'll see way more than you would stuck in an auto.

Yeah, the billing at private hospitals in India... it's a whole other level of crazy. It's less about medical care and more about a high-stakes game of figuring out their cryptic charges. My uncle had a similar experience at a different hospital in @Delhi – weeks of headaches trying to untangle the bill. I think it's partly a lack of regulation, and partly just... well, they know you're desperate and will probably pay whatever they ask. It's infuriating, but sadly, probably pretty common. Hopefully, your aunt’s doing okay now, at least.
