If you have ever driven from Delhi to Mumbai, you know that it can be daunting, given that the route is far from ideal. So, to make the journey more efficient, an expressway is being built, which will reduce the travelling time between these two cities to just 12 hours. But for now, only the first section of the expressway is ready, which runs from Sohna, in Gurgaon, to Dausa, near Jaipur. To assess the impact of the new route, we undertook the Delhi-Jaipur journey simultaneously on both the new expressway and the old highway.
RULES OF THE JOURNEY
We began our journey from Sector 29, Gurgaon, and our destination was Jaigarh Fort. Shivank opted to take the new expressway, while I chose the old highway. The first rule of the journey was that both of us had to make a stop for 30 minutes to get some food. The second rule was that we had to stick to the speed limit. The third rule was…well, there was no third rule. We commenced our journey at 9:00 AM in the morning, and here’s how it unfolded.
