Forget elections. Bangalore and Mumbai are big metros big enough to run a proper SF train. When 100+ buses are running between these 2 cities, railways is not seeing or smelling any need to run a good train.
If CSMT or DR or LTT have platform issues, they can plan trains from/ to Panvel.
5000 passengers travel between Bangalore Mumbai everyday. Means 2 trains can be filled. Thus is apart from those buses running from Mumbai to Belgaum Hubli Ballari Mysore Hassan etc.
We...
more... talk of pollution due to road traffic, high import bill for petroleum, road safety, blah blah blah, but put thousands of people at risk of highway riding. Is this not a human right violation??
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, screw the elections. Bangalore and Mumbai are some major cities, big enough for a legit SF train. With over a hundred buses cruising between these two spots, the railway ain't seeing or smelling the need for a sick train service. If CSMT or DR or LTT are facing platform problems, they could just set up trains to/ from Panvel. 5k peeps roll between Bangalore and Mumbai daily. That's enough for 2 trains. And don't forget those buses from Mumbai to Belgaum, Hubli, Ballari, Mysore, Hassan, and whatnot. We yap about pollution, high petroleum bills, road safety, and whatnot, but we still risk mad heads riding down the highway. Ain't that violating human rights or what?
