Mumbai’s suburban rail network lives up to the moniker of being the city’s “lifeline” by transporting over 7.5 million passengers daily. However, lack of suitable last mile connectivity in the network causes passengers to rely on unsustainable modes for their last mile commutes. This significantly affects the advantages of high patronage of public transport and contributes to severe congestion on roads. The railways’ wide geographical presence across the city and access to 45% of the city’s commuters can be utilised to develop stations as the harbinger of futuristic and sustainable modes of transport for all of Mumbai.
Mumbai’s transportation scenario has traditionally been an intriguing jigsaw.

Funds have been diverted, claims BJP
The TRS government has been totally neglecting the ‘Smart Cities’ project and despite the Central government allotting close to ₹500 crore as its share for taking up civic infrastructure in the cities of Warangal and Karimnagar, the State had failed to allot the matching grant sending the entire scheme into limbo, charged the TS BJP on Thursday.
