Mumbai is planning on building a ₹1100 crore “Pod Taxi” project in BKC,
It’s being marketed as futuristic last-mile transit.
But the math doesn’t work.

@indianurbanism3 Even Departmental stores will work, but please no parks. Not unless you tramify the roads first
English
None!
Let's advocate for the third spaces at the right places instead of shoving people under Flyovers, with noise and air pollution from both sides of the road.
Let these spaces have shrubs that thrive under shade, absorb dust & block glares from vehicles against each other.

@TheMahaIndex Did you say non-AC locals with closed doors? Welp, too late.
English
No matter what year is
What Government is
What Minister is
Indian Railways will continue to Ignore the demands of Marathi People and Maharashtra.
English
@AmeyKulkarni_21 Indian conditions just mean complete lack of rule enforcement and policing it's not a planning problem, but useless police and corrupt or indifferent politicians
English
@Dixit4Neeraj Pune has wider Foothpaths and narrow roads
The same few planners propagate ever Indian cities should have
They don't even know the Indian conditions, just copy paste Europe

Will rather run non-AC locals on heavy subsidies than actually working towards making it 100% AC with fair ticket prices, saving people from falling off and keeping them safe from suffocation.
AC, at least in our metropolises should be a need not a privilege.
Trains of India 🇮🇳@trainwalebhaiya
Indian Railways is set to introduce its first non-AC local trains with automatic doors in Mumbai 🚆
English
@public_pulseIN @KaptainKennedy @AmeyKulkarni_21 You're thinking about it from the perspective of someone who uses Suburban rail and would switch, there's people who don't go on it due to it's notoriety.
English
@Dixit4Neeraj @KaptainKennedy @AmeyKulkarni_21 They want to avoid that's true, but do you think they'll spend maybe half hour more+ticket cost on the metro with an interchange. Incase a person wants to go from Mira road to CSMT/CCG.
I doubt.
English
Mumbai today becomes the 2nd city after Delhi to cross 100 km+ in operational metro
Now people can use metro from the Northermost Suburb (Mira Rd) of the island to the Southermost tip (Cuffee parade)
English
@KaptainKennedy @AmeyKulkarni_21 @public_pulseIN Yes, but thre is now a crowd of people that want to avoid Suburban as much as humanly possible because how shit it is.
English
@AmeyKulkarni_21 @public_pulseIN Well obv. in a true theoretical standpoint a subarban system is supposed to high capacity,fast and lesser stops to travel long distances, while
Metro caters with close stn. spacing
And also travel time depends on where u live, closer to a metro stn or a subarban stn.

Planners: Breaking head, writing articles and publishing research papers on why Pod Taxis are a bad solution for BKC.
Mumbai:
Haldilal@haldilal
Mumbai BKC Pod Taxi.

@haldilal If youre not in the mood then don't post controversial projects, its that simple
English
@Dixit4Neeraj Not in mood to listen to verbal words, complaints etc.

@Dixit4Neeraj 50% is better than 90-95%
We import 90-95% of our LNG needs. If we are able to provide piped gas to small cities this 90% reliance can be cut plus there are speculations of huge gas reserves in NE and Bay of Bengal
English
When no one listens, Modiji listens!
My suggestions are takenup by the government

🚨 BIG PUSH! Govt plans subsidised loans for induction stoves -> The plan involves expanding adoption of INDUCTION cookstoves through subsidised financing. • Proposed model: - Zero-interest loans for induction stoves - Programme likely implemented via Energy Efficiency Services Limited - Interest component on EMIs subsidised by a third party • Policy framework: - Expansion of the National Efficient Cooking Programme launched in 2023 - Programme currently does not include interest subsidy • Financing discussions: - Talks underway with World Bank and Asian Development Bank to structure the funding support ELECTRIC COOKING PUSH GAINS MOMENTUM AMID LPG SUPPLY PRESSURE.
English
@AmeyKulkarni_21 Are raja 50% is too much exposure. For cooking it's fineish, but these many CNG cars are not sustainable, ask me how I know, I own a CNG car
English
@Dixit4Neeraj We produce 50% of our PNG requirements
Not much imports when compared to LNG/crude

Drill those mountains and build a bloody extra railway line instead. That will be more helpful. Run RRTS between Mumbai and Pune. It will probably be the busiest railway in the world.
Pune Mirror@ThePuneMirror
The Pune-Mumbai Expressway is set to be widened from six lanes to 10 lanes, with work expected to begin after the monsoon. MSRDC says the project aims to ease heavy congestion on one of Maharashtra’s busiest routes, especially during weekends and holidays. #PuneNews #MumbaiPuneExpressway #MSRDC #TrafficUpdate #Infrastructure

Human life <<< stray dogs life?
Looks like mental retardation is becoming more setup issue then rabies
Guys tell when was the last time you walked in a street without worrying about street dog in night?
yash saghal@YSaghal
Illegal dog relocation is taking place in Chegunta, Telangana, with dogs being caught using barbed wires - a cruel and unlawful practice that violates the ABC Rules and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. This is happening late at night. Illegal relocation using illegal catching methods is happening across the country.

@indianurbanism3 @streetfrontier @Dixit4Neeraj Even if they start with suburban rail like Mumbai - they will literally earn in crores
English
Why don't we have daily ridership data for every individual line across India including suburban railways?
If it's not accessible to the public, I hope at least they are recording it for themselves.

I am blessed to be born in Maharashtra, India 🇮🇳
And too when PM Modi is our leader
English
@indianurbanism3 They are legally limited to a single UA, Ncrtc was lobbying to get this changed so they could do city pairs like Mumbai Pune or the Salem Coimbatore belt iirc. @ganzaa005 will fact check me
English
I have mixed opinions on this since the RRTS regime is <200km with multiple important stops in between and the said route until Rishikesh is 250km.
A high-speed rail from Delhi would be great with stops every 50km. Or they can at least have RRTS run at 200kmph.
Amαr 🇮🇳@Amarrrrz
Uttarakhand CM has requested PM Modi to extend the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) from Meerut to Haridwar and Rishikesh to improve regional connectivity. He also asked for early launch of the Rishikesh–Vyasi rail section, part of the Rishikesh–Karnaprayag railway line. This 125 km rail project (target 2028) will cut travel time from 7 hrs to about 2 hrs and improve access to Char Dham pilgrimage sites.
English
@indianurbanism3 @streetfrontier IR doesn't care about that, they know very well which trains are visibly full, their station manager sees it, they can also see ticket sales, ticketless travel is treated as a bit of an unspoken subsidy atm. Because enforcement when it comes to 3rd ac suddenly becomes possible.
English
@streetfrontier @Dixit4Neeraj Im not sure how true but I read somewhere that enforcing with TCs and RPF is costlier so they don't bother. Also, I think not having these burdens IR with unreliable data and creates mismatch between demand and supply, thus having overall negative returns with possible deaths
English
@adityakul20 @AmeyKulkarni_21 @AshwiniVaishnaw @Central_Railway @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @DrSEShinde @narendramodi Im way beyond having any hope from IR, now I'm gunning straight for the head, I want a JR style breakup and privatisation
English
@Dixit4Neeraj @AmeyKulkarni_21 @AshwiniVaishnaw @Central_Railway @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @DrSEShinde @narendramodi They did not bring up closing doors in non AC trains. They only talked about it. What they actually brought up is 30 kph speed limits leading to further delays and cancellations.
English
The incident of murder by Indian railways of 6 innocent lives at Mumbra in June 2025 shook everyone
But what happened later?
Just promises?
Nothing changed.
