8000 PMT buses for Pune save #ConcretePollution

Reverse Urban Transport Planning 🚦🛑 This is how #InducedDemand is created! 🤦‍♂️ ✅ No road repairs ✅ No encroachment clearing ✅ No PMT city buses ➡️ Then add Metro (which won’t meet actual demand) ➡️ Traffic worsens... 🚗🚕🚙 #UrbanPlanning #TrafficJams #PublicTransport

@bhaumikgowande Thereby India just needs straightened railway tracks at 50km pitch all over India.. Ordinary trains can, then run at 130kmph peak, 100kmph average No highways required, no pollution, no big import bills, safe, speedy, credible

I was shocked to know that China has around 50,000 km of this HSR network and it only started building this in 2008. On directly competitive routes, Chinese HSR has led to a 24.6% reduction in flights and a 28.2% decrease in air passenger volume.

@bhaumikgowande Deep reach or last mile city buses dedicated for airports , railway terminus, state bus stands is an essential part of city planning.. but totally ignored.. Started believing that ola uber share cuts with the lawmakers??

After 30 years of planning, Navi Mumbai Airport opened in 2025 without NO REAL RAPID TRANSIT LINK. The nearest rail station is 3.2 km away with commuter trains every 60 minutes, the other station is 8.3km away, crowds heavily, and both require unreliable shuttle buses to access. No cabs were ready to take any trips In the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, transport has become a massive struggle by design. Bad planning is now a norm.

@aparanjape Cluster redevelopment or mini township is the key for recycling Sewage Water Energy Rainwater ++ Better Self dependence Community, amenities Green cover Aesthetic, Vaastu Shastra Fresh air No canyon effect causing pollution and heat islands, reducing AC bills

#Pune Only about 50% of the sewage is currently treated. Work is in progress on many STPs, hoping that this number goes up significantly soon. "Civic data shows that the city generates nearly 980 MLD of wastewater daily, while the total treatment capacity is only about 480 MLD." punemirror.com/city/pune/pune… @navalMH @MDNagpure @PMCPune

Maharashtra Govt's borrowings are overwhelmingly domestic (₹9.3+ lakh crore total debt projected, mostly INR loans via market). Direct international commercial loans: near zero. Small multilateral aid (e.g., World Bank $188M for districts) routed via Centre. Bullet train funding is concessional JICA yen loan to Govt of India (not state debt). At ~₹95 per USD, any forex-linked repayments or imports cost more in rupees — raising fiscal pressure, inflation pass-through & subsidy burden on the state. Debt remains manageable at ~18% of GSDP."

However your city engineer can use the techniques as it did not collapse due to winds yesterday.

As usual many parts of #Pune become mud baths or swimming pools as soon as the rain gods bless us .. Hope our newly elected representatives and mayor take up these basic issues for improvement before all of us have to become champion swimmers later this year.

How much fuel is #India burning every day just because of poor traffic management? Bad signals, bottlenecks, illegal parking, bad diversions and weak enforcement are causing massive national loss. Traffic management is not just a civic issue. It is an economic reform.

The Ahmedabad Air India crash: suspected cause? Water leakage igniting fire. @mybmc, this is your metro's worst nightmare. One water leak in a tunnel. One spark. Seconds later: a poisonous gas chamber with thousands trapped underground. India doesn't have the tech to fight these fires. Zero margin for error. This needs to be fixed yesterday. 🚨

Only if they weren’t running utterly corrupt governments in Maharashtra & Centre - the infrastructure wouldn’t be leaking & collapsing all around you. ₹37000 crores were spent on this Metro - yet, within 6 months, the corruption is leaking.

@zoru75 @zoru75 please use drones to pinch and wake up us all, this message is a day time dream..

Congratulations Mumbai 1- Two Coaches to be added to Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro1 Line 2- 4k BEST Buses to be added to city routes 3- Virar local trains to be run every 5 mins, instead of 15 mins 4- Political convoys will no longer block traffic 4 Game Changers for My Mumbai

@sudhirmehtapune Each new car buyer dreams of reaching faster in the city in his her car.. In 2 weeks, he she parks the car on the city roads, for hours in traffic jams

@sudhirmehtapune Poor city buses to cars ratio.. Theory of inversion of priority.. Each lane has 10s of single occupied commuters, Obstructing the city buses, ambulance, 2w

Coastal roads. Atal Sethu. Bullet trains. Mega airports. We're building #monuments to aspiration—not mobility. While #commuters still #hang from local trains and rich cars clog every lane, we're stacking debt on top of debt. More infrastructure → more congestion → more debt. The wheel just spins faster. 🧵

To the fine Urban Planners on my TL - I ask, can it be termed as a white elephant 🐘 with traffic falling 55% short of estimates ??

🚨 REAL BLAME lies squarely with @MMRDAOfficial & Maharashtra Govt for this ₹17,843-crore hypocrisy 👇 They built India’s longest sea bridge (#AtalSetu – 21.8 km) with public money… 🚗 91% of 20,00,03,16+ crossings are PRIVATE CARS (1,81,95,718 vehicles) 🚌 Public buses + common transport? Barely 9% Meanwhile the REAL Mumbai reality: 🚉 60%+ daily commuters depend on overcrowded trains & buses 🚗 Only 8–10% use cars as primary mode 🏠 Just ~15% of urban Maharashtra households even own a car, yet they block 100% traffic Yet this “lifeline” infrastructure is completely captured by the tiny minority whose vehicles create 100% of the traffic chaos it was supposed to solve. The 90% majority gets almost ZERO benefit. This isn’t public infrastructure. This is elite infrastructure funded by the common taxpayer. Fix it NOW: ✅ Flood Atal Setu with frequent, affordable public buses ✅ Prioritise the REAL majority who actually need it #PublicTransportFirst #MumbaiTraffic #AtalSetu #MMRDA #SustainableMobility #MumbaiNeedsBetter

20 million crossings. One sea bridge. 26 months. The Atal Setu, India's longest sea bridge, has crossed yet another historic milestone. Since opening on January 13, 2024, the bridge has recorded over 2 crore vehicular crossings. The 2,00,00,316th vehicle crossed on March 27, 2026 — marking a moment that belongs to every commuter, every family and every business that Mumbai Metropolitan Region's newest lifeline has transformed. The numbers tell the story: 🚗 1,81,95,718 private cars — over 91% of all traffic. 🚌 5,98,525 LCV minibus, bus and truck crossings. 🚛 12,06,073 medium, heavy and oversized vehicle crossings. Inaugurated by Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the Atal Setu connects Sewri in South Mumbai to Chirle in Navi Mumbai, cutting travel time from nearly an hour to under 20 minutes. 👉 Hinterland to mainland. In minutes. In just over two years, it hasn't just moved vehicles, it has moved economies. Boosting commerce, cutting fuel costs, easing commutes and raising the bar for what world-class infrastructure looks like. 👉 The Atal Setu is more than a bridge. 👉 It is a lifeline for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. And 20 million crossings later, it is proof that when Maharashtra builds, it builds for the future. This milestone belongs to every citizen. 🌉 #AtalSetu #MMRDA #200Million #MumbaiInfrastructure #MumbaiToNaviMumbai #BuildingTomorrowToday #ReimaginingMMR @PMOIndia @narendramodi @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @DrSanMukherjee @MMMOCL_Official @MahaDGIPR @MoHUA_India

Cluttered .vs Cluster Pune.. in the first place needs a deep cluster redevelopment as the norms mini township will make the city look pretty Thus, proper public transport, roads, drainage etc can be planned Only thus, public toilets, can be made available as essential throughout Pune

@zoru75 @HillsPune Mostly used by cars Not by public transport city buses This is a dangerous pattern . Same 20,000cr could have funded extra local railway lines or extra city buses for greater Mumbai

Mumbai's Atal Setu Expected to carry 70,000 vehicles every day (in the starting years) Used by 25,000 vehicles every day (in first two years) My Atal Setu Carrying - 35% of expected traffic Not carrying - 65% of expected traffic

रस्त्याच्या मधोमध असलेल्या धातूच्या रोड दुभाजकावर रिफ्लेक्टरचा फलक नव्हता आणि त्यामुळे नेहमी अपघात व्हायचे. मला हा तुटलेला रेडियमचा बोर्ड रस्त्याच्या कडेला पडलेला आढळला,आणि तो तारेने दुभाजकाला बांधला. मला आशा आहे की आता काही अपघात टळतील. स्थळ: धायरी फाटा @navalMH @PMCPune

@talk2anuradha @DnyanesDeshm Why not use the same technology to pay vehicular traffic fine in real time? At least 25% on spot, 25% settle in the courts It will end bribery from the cops

Nitin Gadkari ji says "A new AI-driven toll system will capture photos of number plates & deduct toll amount directly from bank accounts". So why can’t we use same technology to capture photos of potholes & deduct salaries of govt employees? Accountability can't be one sided!

Ah, the architectural evolution of the century. 🏗️🤡 In 1980, we needed a chimney 2.5 times taller than the building to breathe. By 2026, we’ve decided the vibe is "smog-filled penthouse." Now we just build 70m skyscrapers around a 30m stack. Math is hard, but inhaling soot is easy! ✨💨 #UrbanPlanning #LogicNotFound #FreshAirIsOverrated #AQI400Pune #conyon effect CPCB still in 2026BC
