What I like in this pic is the unusual crop. It is a strong statement you made here though. For me the interpretation is: "See how this guy is encaged in his car". This idea is strenghtened by the rain drops. If that's what you wanted to demonstrate, this is perfectly done.
But the drawback in my opinion is that the primary theme (transportation) is not obvious in this pic. Too much static. If you wanted to show a traffic jam to demonstrate the unefficiency of cars for transportation, a wider view would have been better in my opinion. This pic is more about loneliness.
Now maybe I totally misunderstood your pic, but in this case it would mean your picture is not obvious enough.
So, to summarize: a very original and interesting take on the subject, but that doesn't really well fits the theme in my opinion.

very artistic use of water drops...

I like everything about this but the frame, the yellow doesn't seem to fit well. Your crop is pretty interesting though.

nice choice of framing, but the raindrops on your window detract i think a bit from the cool red/black contrast of the subject.

Nice shot of the rain. Pretty cool. I think the border is very distracting. I would have liked to see more of the car and lose the driver, if possible.
