 Bombay (Mumbai) Several systems were in the planning stages for this city on an island off the west coast of India. One plan called for a 17.5 km, 20 station subway between Bandra and Colaba. Another called for an elevated line between Bandra and Kurla. A once promising one was the home grown Sky Bus, a made in India monorail, with three lines. Update 5/2003: An elevated 10 km LRT will be built between Andheri and Ghatkopar via Asalpha, Marol, Chakala and Saki Naka. The SkyBus was rejected because the technology of a vehicle running over air is yet unproven. Described as "not for for mass transport", it is reminiscent of the way your bank will only loan you money only when you don't really need it.
In January 2004,
a master
transit plan, including a 146 kilometer metro, was unveiled by the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
Included was 32 km of subway. |
