"Solo Journeys in India: Navigating the Transport Tapestry via tuk-tuks, trains and planes….”

"Solo Journeys in India: Navigating the Transport Tapestry via tuk-tuks, trains and planes….”

  Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest’s 5 Steps to Solo Travel Guide for women like you who need extra support traveling the world (slowly), one woman at a time.

  Please rate this podcast and the Amazon book series, especially Part B on Destinations!

  I’ve been traveling solo since 1972 and writing about it since 1993. Now you can experience the Top Selling Book Series: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, a Woman’s Guide to Travel and Destinations in Her Prime, found on Amazon. I recently took a 90-day trip around the world, and this is a special episode on Indian transportation for the solo female.

  What are the challenges faced by solo female travelers in India? How can they navigate the transportation system in India? What are the travel tips for exploring India's transport networks as a solo female traveler?

This particular podcast edition is about the "Roads Less Traveled, including a few Solo Female Travel Tips for Exploring India's Transport Networks"

There was a massive train crash while I was in India, and many people were tragically killed. The people I was staying with had friends on those trains, but they were ok. Many of my family members contacted me across the miles to see if I was ok, as it was world news. See the show notes for more on train accidents.

https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/yearender-2023-tragic-accidents-in-2023-road-rail-accidents-odisha-coromandel-express-andhra-pradesh-train-collision-tragedy-latest-updates-2023-12-22-908419

The world’s largest populated country has transportation challenges. Corruption, bureaucracy, and red tape are also issues. Corrupted officials leverage their control over permits to line their pockets. Income equality is massive. The wealthiest 10% makes up almost 60% of India's income. The future looks brighter.

One airline, Go First, went out of business after I bought my ticket in May 2023. I cannot get a refund because the airline is bankrupt and, therefore, will not honor any purchases of their flights, nor will the ticket agency through which I bought it.

I arrived in Chennai from a flight originating in Cambodia and transferred through Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I spent 8 hours in the airport, talking to people from all over the world. Here is a rundown of the travel I did over two weeks in six cities in India. 

When going through airport security, you must be on an all-female line. Men and women are not allowed to go through together.

The same thing happened when I went to the Taj Majal. Separate security stations were established, and I even hit my head on that going through, as I am 5’ 10’, so I am taller than most other women.

Overall, I made many transportation mistakes, but they were all to help you make a better trip next time.

My travel mistakes in India: I was lied to by a taxi driver, had a driver with no shoes and no change, got scammed in the main Delhi train station, and had trouble finding a bus to Agra.

Three civilians were killed on Monday when a MIG-21 military aircraft crashed into a house in the western Indian state of Rajasthan.

The Indian Air Force said in a statement that the plane had taken off for a a "routine operational training sortie" from a nearby base. 

"Soon thereafter, the pilot experienced an onboard emergency, following which he attempted to recover the aircraft as per existing procedures. Having failed to do so, he initiated an ejection, sustaining minor injuries in the process," the Air Force said. 

"The aircraft wreckage fell on a house in Bahlol Nagar in Hanumangarh District, unfortunately leading to the loss of three lives." 

The Air Force said an inquiry had been set up to ascertain the cause of the crash. 

Patchy safety record, India modernizing arsenal

MIG-21s have had a shaky history in India, although for decades they were the backbone of the country's Air Force. First acquired from the Soviet Union in 1963, several later variants were added to the fleet over the years.

However, India's continued reliance on the outdated technology is a point of contention for its aviators, with the model among the handful of planes downy the years that some dissatisfied crews have taken to nickname a "flying coffin" after multiple fatal crashes. 

Last July, two pilots were killed when their twin-seater MIG-21 trainer aircraft crashed near Barmer, also in Rajasthan. That was the sixth MiG-21 crash since Janauar 2021, with five pilots killed in all. 

India's military has also suffered several other recent fatal air accidents. 

Last week, an Indian-made army helicopter with three people on board crashed in the Jammu and Kashmir region.  

And two Indian fighter jets collided mid-air during routine exercises in January 2023, south of the Indian capital of New Delhi. One of the pilots died in the collision. That incident involved two far more modern planes, a Russian-made Sukhoi Su-30 and French-made Mirage 2000.

In January 2020, India's most senior military officer, then-Chief of Defense Staff Bipin Rawat, was one of 13 people killed when a Russian-made military transport helicopter crashed en route to an air base.

India is trying to modernize its air force with a mixture of acquisitions from Russia and France, and also by trying to develop a domestic aviation industry of its own.

Why did two planes collide in Charkhi Dadri? Charkhi Dadri Collision was the deadliest mid-air collision in aviation history.

[techoair]

Charkhi Dadri Collision was a collision between 2 aircraft that occurred on 12 November 1996 near the town of Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, India

[thegreenmeridian]

@honeybeelullaby tagged me on an “infodump about your interests” meme!

My interest is a bit more ghoulish than most but fuck it!

I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of plane crashes. My final essay for my degree module was supposed to be about monolingual vs multilingual workplaces, and I turned that into a whole thing on plane crashes.

It’s the factors involved that fascinate me. Rarely is an accident caused by a single thing. It’s a chain of events, little slip-ups and oversights that by themselves are unlikely to cause major problems. On occasion, these chain links are forged decades prior to the accident.

Take the 1996 midair collision of a Saudi 747 and a Kazakh Il-76 over Charkhi Dadri in India. On the face of it, a simple case of pilot error — the Illyushin pilots descended below their assigned altitude and strayed into the Boeing’s path. What’s really interesting is why that happened.

For starters, the airport at New Delhi did not have secondary surveillance radar. Secondary radar communicates with the planes’ transponders, allowing the air traffic controller to see the speed, altitude, and identification of each blip. Primary radar, however, is simply dots on a screen. The controller must place tracking pins on each dot to keep track of who’s who and rely on the pilots for fast and accurate reporting of their altitude, and has no way of knowing if a plane deviates from its assigned altitude.

Another issue at New Delhi was the sheer number of flights using the same corridors - routes in and out of the airspace. At most major airports, departing planes travel along one corridor and arrivals another. At New Delhi, all civilian flights travelled the same corridor. Think of it like all cars using the same side of a motorway to leave the other side free for military vehicles. If that sounds dangerous to you, well, it is.

Still, planes generally came and went from New Delhi without issue, thanks to the highly professional ATC teams in charge of keeping the skies in order. So how did the Kazakh flight end up at the wrong altitude?

The captain was highly experienced, with 9200 hours under his belt, only a few hundred less than the Saudi captain. But where he got those hours of experience matters.

Kazakhstan was only 5 years into its independence at the time of the accident. The pilots, like their plane, had come of age under Soviet flight regulations which were considerably different from Western regulations.

Where the Western world demanded a high standard of English (Aviation English being the industry-wide language), the Soviets did not. For the Kazakh pilots, this left them with only one man in the cockpit able to understand the air traffic controller, the radio operator. This is a position that simply does not exist in Western manufactured aircraft. It’s a matter of design philosophy. Western aircraft were built specifically for the civilian market, and Soviet aircraft were largely adapted from military designs in which a separate radio operator’s position is the norm.

For the crew of the Kazakh flight, this resulted in a translation delay between radioman and pilot, and a radioman who did not have his own instrumentation and thus had to either peer over the pilots’ shoulders or request updates. In theory, it’s doable. In reality, no member of the Il-76’s crew had the entire picture of what was happening.

Another disparity between Western and Soviet flight rules was what measurements were used. New Delhi’s controllers were giving the assigned altitudes and distances in feet, and the radio operator was having to convert to metres. The inevitable confusion caused by this was a frequent matter of complaint for New Delhi’s operators when dealing with flights originating in former Soviet states. Soviet pilots would also rarely repeat back instructions — standard among Western pilots to ensure correct understanding for both pilot and controller — instead simply replying “roger” and switching their radios off.

And the final issue caused by Soviet flight regulations? Crew resource management. An operational technique that grew out of the 1977 Tenerife disaster, CRM training encourages cockpit cohesion and an atmosphere where the captain listens to their subordinates, and subordinates feel empowered to correct a captain’s mistakes. It’s a primary factor in why air disasters have become increasingly rare since Tenerife. Look at any accident report since its inception and chances are, you’ll find a recommendation that the airline(s) involved need to improve their CRM training.

For Soviet pilots, CRM training was nonexistent. In the chaos after the Soviet split, when airlines were disintegrating and changing hands and money was tight, few took up the challenge of providing CRM training to their crews. This was arguably a result of Soviet attitudes towards aviation safety, in which little, if anything, was learned from previous accidents — which were generally seen as an inevitable part of flying. Add in the suppression of information surrounding accidents with state operated airlines such as Aeroflot, and you start to see why Soviet aircraft and aircrews were considerably more dangerous to fly with than their Western counterparts.

So, what did all this mean for the crew of KZA1907?

ATC cleared the inbound Kazakh flight to descent to 15,000 ft. Coming from the opposite direction, the departing Saudi flight was cleared to climb 14,000 ft. About 8 minutes after the transmission, KZA1907 reported that it had reached its altitude. In fact, they were at 14,500 ft and still descending. This was later determined to be a result of poor communication among the crew.

As was standard, the ATC operator reported the oncoming traffic, warning the Kazakh pilots that a Saudi 747 was about 8 nautical miles ahead and, so he thought, a safe 1000ft below, and asked them to report when it was in sight. The radio operator’s reply of “now looking 1907” was the last anyone heard of the Kazakh flight.

Rather than the level flight at 15,000 ft that he’s reported to ATC, the radioman noticed at last that the plane was at 14,000 and slowly descending. Ironically, had he not noticed, the two planes might have just barely missed each other. Instead, the captain pushed forward on the throttles to climb to the correct altitude. Moments later, the tail of the Illyushin clipped the left wing of the Boeing, sending both plummeting to the ground and killing all 349 people aboard both flights. The deadliest midair collision in history.

Considering suing my car insurance company?

As we all know car insurance companies in the United States of America charge males more than females to drive a car based on real world studies . This is the equivalent of not hiring females because they may get pregnant and take a lot ofdays off... Because this is truly a real world study i conducted that males dont get pregnant as often as females. So I am highly tempted to bring this up with a lawyer or at least send a letter to my car insurance company, and i want them to hurt for it because frankly it pisses me off that i am being descriminated against. Further more, in europe, this practice of charging males more because they are more likely to drive is highly illegal. I am in no way a liberal democrat but if this sensitivity bullshit is going to stop descrimination than maybe they should give a **** about me before i start caring about them...""

Backdated car insurance?

A while back, my husband drove my moms car and totaled it. At the time, we had no car, so we werent carrying insurance. A telephone pole had to be replaced. ANYWAYS, my parents insurance said they are going to cover it. Since then, my husband and I bought our own car and our own insruance. NOW my parents insurance company keeps calling and they want our insurance info so they can bill OUR insurance. When he had the accident, we explained we had no car insurance. Then they called, and my husband had said we have insurance now, but i tihnk she thinks we had it then too (even though we've told them we didnt, which we didnt at the time). They keep wanting the information so they can backdate our insurance and have them pay for the accident. From everything ive read, this is fraud and is illegal. Is this true?

Does a ticket for not having insurance increase your insurance rate?

I'm a professional driver of a honda civic for a major company in California. My corporation has a policy that says if you have 3 or more dings on your record in 5 years (dings classified as anything that would increase their cost for your insurance policy) that you lose your job. 3 years ago I got a ticket for going 5 miles through a stop sign, that was #1, 8 months ago I got a speeding ticket for 78 in a 65, that was #2. Tonight I went through a DUI checkpoint, I had everything except my insurance policy was 8 days past due. The officer and myself figured I just had an outdated card and all I needed was proof of insurance. It turns out, for some stupid reason, gieco didn't auto-renew my insurance policy, and I simply didn't have insurance for 8 days. I called my insurance company, got everything taken care of, but I still have a ticket for driving without insurance, which I imagine means a ding on my record. What I need to know is does that ding increase the cost of insurance in the state of California? If so I'm fired as soon as this ticket hits DMV.""

Got into a car accident with rental and declined the insurance?

hi all i was hoping you could get some facts/and or legal advice. Ok so i have been renting this car for about 6 month now because i cant afford a down payment for my own. I had my own car insurance which covered the rental. However(bad luck struck) i got into a car accident 2 days after my car insurance lapsed i have since renewed my policy right away with another insurance company that gave me better rates. The fault of the accident has not yet been determined. I believe it was the other persons fault. however i am worried what will happen if it is deemed to be my fault. i was not covered at the time of the accident, i did not obviously have coverage through the rental company. i want to make something clear that i am a person of good faith and if it were to be deemed as my fault i have no problem paying the other persons deductable. but i am worried about someone going after me for thousands and thousands or jail time or loosing my licence. so my questions are do rental car companies carry default uninsured motorist coverage(even if i opp out of purchasing theres?) if it is my fault do i get to pay the other persons deductable(and damage to rental) and walk away? will her insurance sue me for full cost of repairs? will her insurance go after rental company go after rental place for money? will her insurance go after my new insurance even though i was not covered by them at the time of the accident? fyi: no one was hurt, she has a minor medium size dent in door panel, i have small tear in my bumper""

Are company's allowed to bump up your no claims for you so you get cheaper insurance ?

A family member of mine bought a car last year from a dealership and bought the insurance through them for ease, they hadn't had a car for a few years and so lost there no claims bonus however it would seem that the company put that he had a 5 years no claim bonus on anyway so that he would get his insurance cheaper, is this legal ? Also a year has now passed and so they are looking to get insurance somewhere else because other places offer even cheaper prices, however the insurance company are saying if he moves to another insurer they will say he only has 1 year no claims, but if he stays with them he can keep his 5 years no claims and that seems a little bit shifty to.
