Survey says, Mumbai is the world’s second most honest city
Washington: India’s financial capital Mumbai has been named the world’s second-most honest city, according to a survey of 16 cities worldwide.
Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city in the survey, while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.
In Helsinki, 11 out of 12 wallets were returned. “Finns are naturally honest, it’s typical for us,” said 27-year-old business student Lasse Luomakoski, who found the dropped wallet in the pedestrian street of Mikonkatu in downtown Helsinki.
Russian capital Moscow, and Amsterdam, the capital of Netherlands, both tied for the fifth place, with 7 out of 12 wallets being returned in the cities. German capital Berlin and Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, tied for seventh place on the list, with 6 out of 12 wallets being returned. London, and Warsaw, the capital of Poland, where 5 out of 12 wallets were returned, were jointly ranked in the ninth position.
Male and female, too, were unpredictable, although in two cities females stood out for two very different reasons. In Warsaw, all the wallets lost were taken by women; in Ljubljana, of the six wallets returned, five were handed back by women.
Comparative wealth was also no guarantee of honesty. People in Moscow returned seven out of the 12 wallets whereas, in the more prosperous city of Zurich, only four wallets were returned.
