In the back of a taxi going over the Vidyasagar toll bridge, Kolkata In the back of a taxi going over the Vidyasagar toll bridge, Kolkata, 11 December 2003

 

This bridge was supposed to relieve the congestion on the old Howrah bridge, but as it levies a 10 rupee (13p) toll, in reality it is surreally empty. Note 'for hire' sign -- you can never find a driver who will use the meter.
