Even as the city is used to the usual breakdown of services during exceptionally heavy downpour, yesterday, Murphy’s Law appeared to be playing out real time. The first sign of trouble presented itself in the suburb of Khardi, between Kalyan and Kasara stations, at around 6:10 am. As the morning peak hour was about to start, there was a technical failure, followed by a potential derailment on the Central Railway. Then, trouble brewed at the sparsely used Monorail, and the evening was capped off with traffic at Western Express Highway stalled for hours.
