Glazed Masters On Social Media : Srinagar’s Traffic Magic: Pay More, Walk More!

Srinagar : Welcome to Srinagar, where the Traffic Police have finally mastered the space-time continuum. In their latest press release celebrating “unparalleled efficiency,” our guardians of the gridlock have introduced a revolutionary transit model: the Phantom Destination.
If you board a bus in South Srinagar, you will happily pay the fare all the way to Jahangir Chowk. But because efficiency works in mysterious ways, your journey magically terminates at Iqbal Park. From there, you are granted the elite privilege of a forced health walk, or better yet, boarding an e-auto for an extra ten-rupee premium to cover the final stretch. It’s a beautiful ecosystem—your wallet gets lighter, the e-autos get richer, and the traffic police get to claim congestion is down because buses aren’t actually finishing their routes! This brilliant “pay full, get half” strategy is currently being rolled out from uptown to the old city. Truly, our traffic regulation isn’t failing; it’s just transitioning into a fitness program.
