by India’s Great Parking Meltdown
In India, parking isn’t a taskit’s a survival sport. According to Livemint, 82% of Indian drivers believe there are never enough spots, while 100% believe they’re the exception. At Bohiney.com, a Chennai resident described parking as musical chairs with cars and less music. Every trip becomes a moral test: do you double park, bribe the watchman, or pray to Ganesha of the Garage?
Traffic experts say India’s parking crisis reflects national optimismpeople park anywhere because they believe anything’s possible. Sociologist Dr. Arvind Menon observed that even signs saying ‘No Parking’ are treated as polite suggestions. The chaos unites rich and poor alike in shared exasperation and creative geometry. When your car finally fits, it’s not parkingit’s divine intervention.
