Me, an interviewer, knowing the car of every job applicant :gigachad-hd:
you're not stuck in heavy traffic, you are participating in heavy traffic
Whatever the hell is going on in India is the outcome China would’ve had if the CPC lost
Not sure what that means for transportation specifically since I think they still have traffic in China. Both countries have air pollution
India has a large state owned rail system (only issue is they are kinda slow). Metro systems were severely lacking but in the past decade a bunch have been building some.
Urban public transportation in China - statistics & facts
The current state of affairs in China is grim
As of 2021, the number of cars in China amounted to over 300 million, 1.9 times more than a decade ago, placing a huge burden on the country's road network. In first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, people take an average of 45 minutes to get to their workplaces. During rush hour, the average driving speed in Beijing can get as low as 24.36 kilometers per hour. Regarding public transport volume, Guangdong Province ranked top nationwide with more than eight billion person-times in 2020, significantly higher than Shanghai or Beijing.
However, the future is definitely looking brighter
The highest urban public transport ridership in China is by bus or trolley bus, at about 49 billion in 2021. This was followed by 27 billion taxi passengers and around 24 billion metro/subway riders. During the year, about 709,400 buses and trolleybuses were in operation in urban China. The proportion of public transport vehicles available to citizens has been steadily increasing from only 3.6 units per 10,000 inhabitants in 1995 to about 13 units per 10,000 residents in 2020.
China has been promoting a clean and green public transportation system by increasing the number of electric vehicles in its fleet and related infrastructure. The share of all-electric buses in the fleet has skyrocketed over the past six years, from just 15.6 percent in 2016 to 59.1 percent in 2021. The total number of purely electricity-powered buses amounted to approximately 419,500 units that year.
...
The number of subway lines operating in China has tripled in the last decade, reaching 223 units by 2021. Moreover, approximately 83.5 percent of the urban railway under construction that year was for underground metro service. Correspondingly, China's metro train fleet has continued to expand to approximately 57,300 units in 2021.
Idk if I'd credit this to the CPC broadly (Dengism clearly was not good for public transit, given the backlog of car driving the current administration is having to work through). But the current government (:xigma-male:) in particular seems to be focused on real quality of life improvements.
I thought I was in r/linkedinlunatics for a second there. Why is it always marketing people that post this shit?
Marketer Mindset is to never actually try to change things, just to put a favorable rhetorical spin on the shit sandwich you're being asked to sell.
How....uh....how would you know that it's the EXACT person you're right behind?
imagine believing anything that's written on l*nkedin, of all places
Death to America
Don't they use polychronic time in India? (Something the inferior anglo brain is incapable of understanding). Being late to an interview is basically expected.
"Polychronic time" is basically a form of time management that focuses on tasks completed rather than time taken - so in America you would have a job interview at lets say 10:15 AM and you better be there PROMPTLY at that time or even better fifteen minutes early, but in India the norm is more to have an interview scheduled for "Monday" and you show up when you can (within reason, obviously it sets a bad impression to show up ten minutes before everyone goes home). Monochronic time tends to do one thing at a time according to a rigid schedule, polychronic time tends to have a bunch of tasks running simultaneously, hence the name.
Someone who knows more about it than me might write about how monochronic time is an outgrowth of western capitalism since it seems to be the case that euros are monochronic and everyone else is polychronic, but it also might predate capitalism and just be a big coincidence idk.
I've seen theories that it has to do with temperature and stuff for whatever reason
For social events being late is fine, and expected, for a job interview you should still probably be on time
