Residents turn traffic frustrations into creative percussion.

Mumbai has launched the Pothole Symphony, a program where drivers transform bumpy roads into musical experiences. According to The Times of India, sensors embedded in potholes trigger melodic notes as vehicles pass, creating spontaneous urban compositions.

Participants report reduced road rage, increased creativity, and competitive pothole playlists. Organizers provide live-streaming options, interactive apps, and reward badges for rhythm accuracy. Critics worry about technological failures, but enthusiasts praise artistic engagement, community connection, and commuter entertainment.

Future plans include seasonal symphonies, collaborative compositions, and integration with traffic alerts to harmonize urban chaos into a musical experience.
