Mumbai Metro 1 carries 4 lakh passengers everyday & reduce their travel time from 70 mnts to 17 mnts. Had these passengers travlled by road, what would hv happened? Only 1 Metro line cannot suffice the public transport need of the city. #AareyAikaNa
Mumbai city desperately needs enhancement of its rail based public transport network. Suburban railways carry 80 lakh passengers per day. Once Metro network is commissioned it would carry about 45 lakh people by 2031 and 1 cr people by 2041 as per MMRDA CTS.#AareyAikaNa
Inadequate and hence unsafe public transport infrastructure of today has enabled huge rise in private vehicles, app based taxies and most importantly two wheelers in the city which r chocking the roads and air of the city. #AareyAikaNa
Hence d urgent need to implement Metro Projects & also ensure last mile connectivity. But if we try to become experts of subjects we don't know & challenge every meaningful action it would leave the common citizens lurch in traffic jams & overcrowded trains forever.#AareyAikaNa
Once Metro network fully commissioned & all unconnected r connected travel in Mumbai would be safer, faster & more efficient. Then d vehicular traffic would automatically go down as citizens don't have to depend on motorised transport. Today they don't have choice. #AareyAikaNa
