From sleeping in office to wishing it on their exes: Hilarious responses to Mumbai's Tuesday traffic snarl

Thousands of commuters were left in the lurch as several coaches of a Western Railway train derailed at around 11 am on Tuesday near Vile Parle station. The Western Railway line is still affected and traffic is already beginning to pile up on the Western Express Highway early on Wednesday morning.

Reuters[/caption] Seven coaches of a local train today derailed between Andheri and Vile Parle stations in suburban Mumbai, disrupting traffic on the busy route linking Churchgate in South Mumbai to Virar, PTI reported.   This incident follows the derailment of a Bandra-Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus local train on Monday evening. Some in Mumbai however took the traffic jam well, organised car pools and tried to look at the brighter side of things while others took to ranting on Twitter:

Mumbai traffic today is like those days when Delhi has 60,000 weddings in a day. Yeah, like that.
