Very good news. This elevated corridor is vey badly needed by several lacs of Mumbaikars who need to do daily commuting over the route. Beauty of this project:
(1) Elevated corridor, so minimum hassle of land acquisition and rehabilitation for project affected people, and quickerexhibition of delay
(2) 40 minute saving in commuting time matters a lot for a daily commuter
(3) AC travel...
more... give comfort from notorious sticky sweating which pinches a lot in extreme crowd of Mumbai esp in summer months.
(4) It will promote development of Navi Mumbai as a counter magnet to severely overcrowded Mumbai.
(5)Being elevated track, there is no question of water logging on the tracks and consequent stoppage of trains services which a nightmare for Mumbaikars
One thing I wish more should be there, is provision of non-ac coaches also, so that common public is also benefited and good occupancy is ensured on the trains on the new route (after completion of construction) right from the inception.
