Flashing Amber

How world class are our transport system? The platform filled up to two-thirds at peak, despite the train arriving one after another in matter of minutes. Pathetic.

Yesterday, on the way to night classes, I had to brave through a thundering session of rain. En route, I passed by 2 junctions that has their traffic lights flashing amber, suggesting that it must have been hit by a bolt of lightning. Surprisingly, in the absence of a regulating system - forget the traffic police, they are nowhere to be seen during the storm - traffic flows systematically, with vehicles from each direction giving way at random intervals.

Is there a problem with the system?
