CR has planned to develop railway station ticketing counters on the lines of airports at all major stations. Announcing this yesterday, senior officials these ticketing hubs will have all types of ticketing machines and a ticketing zone, which will be developed as a passenger area.
Points of view
Rahul Shewale, Member of Parliament
'Dadar is the hub of railways in Mumbai and caters to over 10 lakh passengers every day. It is important to build a proper station unit with ancillary facilities. At present, it is a scattered unit of two separate stations; that much land, if exploited properly, can be a hub of urban renewal'
Rohit Shinkre, Architect behind the concept
'The idea is to integrate the outside areas, namely Tilak Bridge and Keshavsut flyover, into the station plan. Commuters want easy entry-exit points, and that is what we are offering them with the help of elevated pedestrian zones and subways, integrated with the road bridges.'
