The debate over the odd-even rule on Delhi roads has been going on for so long that most of us have had enough of it. People are still trying to figure out how they’re going to make changes to their daily life to still get to work or college on time. While others argue the feasibility of the solution, we youngsters have a completely different set of problems to deal with. Take a look at these nine things about the odd-even rule that will probably ruin our lives for good!

 

#1 Auto prices will probably go up

Everybody knows how hard it is to convince an autowallah to drive you to your destination by meter. Now that they know that their demand is going to go up, chances of you finding an autowallah willing to drop you at the right price will be one in a million! And don’t we all know how good auto rickshaw drivers are at getting on our nerves.This is going to be a huge issue for those who’re thinking of relying on public transport!

#2 Dearth of public transport

Car-pooling or public transport are the only two options we are left with after the odd-even rule is put in place. Car-pooling is still manageable. Kudos to those who have no option but to use public transport! Seriously, we are already teary-eyed for them. Given the lack of good public transport in the city, it’s going to be a task to catch a bus, get an auto or even get inside the metro. It’s going to be utter chaos and we dread to even think about it!

#3 People will start lying/ promoting corruption

We’re not being negative here but we do believe that this might happen! Indians are just too good at faking things and are proud of that celebrated concept called ‘jugaad’. According to reports, if someone is dealing with an illness of any kind, they are exempted from the rule on provision of sufficient proof. On being stopped by the cops they can use their illness as an excuse to avoid getting a ticket. Now, people can lie, easily get fake prescriptions and be on their way, hence, you just got corrupt, my friend!

#4 What if you run out of luck?

Hypothetically; you drive to a friend’s place for a party and you make up your mind to stay the night. The next day is for even cars and you’re far from realising it, because to hell with all that when you’re with your bros, right? The next morning, you are not only going to have to nurse a hangover but also deal with that big question: How on Earth will you get home?! If you take your car out you know the cops are waiting for you. If you don’t, you’ll have to come back the next day to collect it. What a pain! Your only solution is to be on your way early morning and be where you have to be before the clock strikes 8. Man, the odds aren’t in your favour.

#5 Impromptu dates

Your girlfriend wants to hang but the same crappy problem pops up. You can’t take your car and she’s free from this odd-even rule because she’s a woman! (No, no sarcasm there!) So you pull up in an auto while she parks her car with ease and let’s be honest, you make the ‘whatever!’ face and hope she doesn’t see you.

#6 Bikers will have the road to themselves

So the odd-even rule doesn’t apply to women AND bikers. The reason behind it is still obscure to us. Good news for bikers, the road belongs to you NOT! Do not take this rule as an advantage. Road accidents will still take place and people will get hurt and we aren’t blaming you. But good for you, you have more space to ride your machine.

#7 You can enjoy dry humping, if that’s your thing

People who will be using the metro for their daily commute, there’s good news for you all. You get to dry hump sweaty men and stick your nose into the armpits, don’t matter if these are your fetishes or not. You’ll be served and served well. That’s what’s going to happen when you step into an overly crowded metro after the odd-even rule takes place. We just hope that you can take it mentally and physically, of course.

#8 DTC buses will get messier than ever

Coming down to DTC buses, they’ve never been an option for many of us but when the time comes, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. When you run out of options, you can either stay home or get yourself where you have to be by taking chances or chances with the public transport. Good Luck.

#9 Traveling will be a task

All this proves that traveling will be a task and not an easy one. Imagine the number of vacant seats available is 1 and the contenders for that seat are 10 and counting. The one, who gets the seat, gets a free travel pass! Heck, we just gave the government a new idea to promote the use of public transport! You can thank us later!
