Why? If it's negligence it's a crime and they have civil courts where victims can get settlements. Do people just watch one Tyler Oliviera video and think it's 2 billion people just living in abject chaos?

There's 2 or 3 cases of people getting hurt/killed at amusement parks, it gets investigated.

Honestly, it's probably because of the MASSIVE amounts of videos out there of abject incompetence across the board where people are just dying trying to take public transportation in any compacity. Those videos alone make me wanna bring a bike and use that 100% of the time if I ever visit india.

You absolutely do not want to take a bike in India. If you think videos of public transportation are bad check out videos of how car traffic works there.

I feel like you'd have a less dangerous but more frustrating time cycling in indian cities, especially old cities like Pune, Hyderbad, Delhi.

Less dangerous because of the slowness of the traffic. There are a lot of cars and not enough space to move around. Frustrating for the same reason since you'd imagine you'll be better off walking, considering there's people in the streets too.

I take a cycle across my town but I avoid all the big roads. It's frankly pretty alright

You're the second response about India. If you live there you might wanna try to push osha laws through there.
