Mumbaikars want faster transportation rather than just increase in transport vehicles. We need faster trains which can cover a distance of 40-60 km in 20 minutes time. Commuting between Virar and Borivali itself takes around 40 min running time, forget about the number of delays at various signals, or the go-slow tactics adopted every now and then by the motorman.
To complete a journey of 1 1/2 hour, we have to wait for another 40-50 minutes just to get inside a train.
The quality of life of an average Mumbaikar is falling year after year. Thanks to the State Government and the Opposition parties, who are more interested in fighting among themselves and not thinking about the development issues at all.
If faster transportation is provided the congestion point can shift, as we would be able to live far off from Mumbai and still manage to work in Mumbai.
The current bullock cart trains should be replaced with local bullet trains, point-to-point trains, not just 4 or 6 tracks but double the capacity.
The staff of the railway department of both western and central railways including the top brass and key policy makers should be made to travel with us to Virar, Kalyan and far off places and get a first hand experience.
Why the decisions are taking so much of time to implement?
Why can't the railways undertake the remedial measures on a war footing?
Why not have Mumbai specific decision making authority comprising of railways and local government?
Why should we pay and and not get the benefits?
