People often draw comparisons of their country with foreign destinations to come up with own conclusions. A man who recently went on a trip to Dubai, made a few observations about the city and compared them with Mumbai.
Identified as Yash, the person reflected on how Mumbai is way different and "far behind" from Dubai. He considered the fact that Dubai is part of a developed nation and Mumbai isn't while sharing his long post on social media.
Taking to Reddit, the man compared the two cities based on his experiences and observations. He sided towards Dubai despite living in Mumbai for four decades and having visited the foreign city only for a week.

Mumbaikars compares his city with Dubai
The post opened by saying, "I just came back from a week long trip to Dubai. When you are back from a developed country, you can see just how far behind we are. I am a Mumbaikar, born and spent 40+ of my life here. This wasn't my first trip to a developed country, but this time upon returning the differences just hit differently".
The Redditor detailed why he was impressed with Dubai over Mumbai. He termed the Indian city "Chaotic" in terms of infrastructure, road discipline, and traffic. He also talked low about the city throwing light on pollution and everlasting construction work.
"I am a lover of Mumbai, but..."
"Non-existent infrastructure, zero civic sense, zero traffic sense, trash and rubble everywhere, pollution so bad it burns your throat...Main roads that have no lanes, construction and debris everywhere", he wrote.
"During the 7 days I did not see a single truck on Dubai roads, they have separate roads and special timings. Mumbai is as chaotic as it gets. I am a lover of this city, but this financial capital of the country is becoming unlivable. Traffic in Dubai can get as bad as Mumbai, but at least no one will cut in front of you. Vehicles will stop at the signals, roads have very clear markings be it for cars of pedestrians", the post read further.
