From the latest issue of TimeOut Mumbai:
- Mumbai’s 7.2 million slumdwellers constitute 60% of the population
- In a four month period starting last November, government bulldozers demolished 90,000 dwellings, making 300,000 people homeless
- Only 40% of households are connected to sewers
- There are 800 functioning public toilet blocks; this is 20,000 less than needed; the public toilets are so deep in shit that city workers refuse to clean them, even for extra pay
- Suburban trains have a capacity of 1,750 passengers; at rush hour, 4,000 passengers are crammed into each train
- 110 new vehicles are added to Mumbai every day; average traffic speed: 6-8 km/h
