  • In this episode of Sunday Bharat Journey, we dive into the emotional and cultural impact of Kolkata's iconic yellow Ambassador taxis as they face retirement in 2024. With nearly 4,500 Peeli Taxis set to be phased out, we explore how this decision affects the livelihoods of drivers, the legacy of these classic cabs, and the reactions of locals to this significant change.
    From the history of Peeli Taxis and their prestige in Kolkata to the challenges faced by drivers and customer reviews, we discuss it all. What’s next for drivers and their earnings? What should change to support them? Join us as we explore the future of transportation in Kolkata and pay tribute to an era that defined the city’s streets

    if they want to replace it, the govt should mandate some newer taxies to be yellow. That will preserve some part of it. That's how some cultures are preserved.

The mass culture can be preserved that way.

    I'm Bengali and it was painful to see trams disappear, it is part of our old-world charm. The problem with ambassador is that the tech is old and maintenance unavailability with HM shutting down.
    I think it's a good business opportunity for the HM if they revive themself. Think about it, make a new ambassador with latest engine, tech and safety features but keep the old body. Then get the WB government involved to incentivize these cars for cab drivers / firms (say tax exemptions)
    I guess it will never happen with the current state of bureaucracy and entrepreneurship but it's awesome to think new ambassadors rolling on Kolkata streets.

      The main problem is the amount of pollution it adds up to. currently pollution and its impact is the biggest concern for India and cities like Kolkata. Based on this model, it was a big opportunity for the government to start electric vehicles or CNG cars. But Make In India was just big talks.

And by the way, the overhead copper cables are also not very efficient as they are old and lose a lot of energy during the distribution. Not sustainable either. Some changes are necessary even if they have high emotional values. True love for the city isn't about clinging to outdated relics, it's about a clean environment, responsible resource management, and respecting public spaces. Which honestly I don't see in the people there. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a cold, heartless pragmatist.😂

    Let me provide you some pros and cons for this taxi:
    Pros:
    1. Extremely safe to travel as the build quality is beyond any rating of a modern car. This car is literally built like a tank, and there is no chance of death in case of a collision crash.
    2. Easy to identify from afar and can be negotitated into a good deal.
    3. Seats are comfortable w.r.t Alto, WagonR and other small hatchbacks.
    4. Provides a nostalgic connection with the city and is visually more appealing than boring white taxis.
    Cons:
    1. The summer heat is impossible to bear without AC when temps outside are around 45 C, there is no heat sheilding from the engine, so good luck sitting in the front of the car during the peak summer heat. (The Biggest dealbreaker in my opinion)
    2. They are not environmentally sustainable due to old diesel engines.
    3. The suspension of this car is heavily outdated and can't handle sudden jerks or brakes.
    4. Sometimes the taxi fare meters are rigged and you can get scammed, so keep a keen eye on the meter.
    5. Usually the taxis are not very well kept and lack a bit of basic hygenic practices.
    That's all for today folks. Hope you got an idea.

    Sarthak - Thanks for covering the Yellow Taxi owners' thought. Pls talk to the citizens as well. Yellow taxi is notorious for not maintaining pollution, not accepting passengers etc etc. Its not on the govt to remove them from the city rather its the MV Act and RTO regulations which require them to be removed. Apart from the Yellow taxis, many buses are also getting removed. Its not Yellow vs Blue- white. You rightly brought the point on pollution, citizens of the city does not care about it, if govt suggests that it becomes a political agenda.

    It was already painful to let go off the trams.. Some things carry value beyond just functionality and our iconic yellow taxis represent Kolkata's soul & heritage.. While safety improvements could be considered, we don't need to completely modernize everything.. These taxis are woven into our city's cultural fabric and hold countless memories for generations of Kolkatans. Sometimes, gentle improvements while preserving the essence is better than complete transformation.. Not everthing needs to follow strict bureaucratic standards, there's beauty in maintaining these cultural touchstones that make our city unique.. 🚕😢

Govt also don't focus on their upliftment.Where as in new delhi "posh people" live ,who earn a good sum to maintain and provide hygiene to family.Same thing is applicable in case of Kolkata as well .
      Every City is divided into 2 sects where Govt focus on one side ,neglecting the other .And thus creating more and more Wage gap ,thus leading to these issues .

    what does NO FREE LEFT mean ???? in the board sign?

    • @gourabmondal7692
      @gourabmondal7692 Месяц назад +5

      It means suppose you are in a turn having 4 roads in 4 sides. You want to go and the signal in front of you is showing red which means you can't go straight, logically this means that you can go left, but cars are coming from your right side, in that case you'll have to wait until the light turns green giving you the permission to go to both straight and left....
      Right is not mentioned because you'll have to cross the road to turn right anyways, because India is a left driving country...
      If you don't understand take a pen and paper read again you'll understand 💯

      @@Shubhamx.13 Traffic rush is high on certain stretches, that time if some vehicle comes and crosses over perpendicularly at that junction taking a free left, it may cause more traffic jam for the incoming traffic... and the Green Signalling timeframes are too little in Kolkata, you'll not find Red signals for 90-120-150 seconds as you may find in some other cities across the country... 60 seconds max (20 + 20 + 20)... this helps keep traffic flowing in Kolkata (and no major traffic logjams in the city - despite having mostly much narrower roads than other cities like Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai etc...
      Also usually buses go along the left-most lanes to reach the bus stops. Once a vehicle makes a free left at a junction, a bus from the incoming green signal traffic would find it cumbersome and time consuming to let the small vehicles from wrong side pass over before reaching its stop on the the other side... hope you can get the picture...

      If any signal specifically directs no free left then it is a high speed intersection/accident prone area. If you take free left then incoming high speed traffic might crash into you

    Bhai I am from Kolkata, aap apni family ko leke raaste mein khade reh jainge aur aap anginat Yellow Taxi ko rokenge but ye log sirf apni marzi k maalik hai. Destination achhi lagi toh jainge warna nahi, Ye OLA, Uber & other app cabs k wajeh se travel karna easy ho gya hai. Plus they are highly polluting, Blue & Red Private buses and the Ambassador Taxis needs to go, or else Kolkata will become next SMOKE CHAMBER.
