Why it is needed

4.  Complement Underground Metro with existing public
transportation
 No displacement or demolition necessary
 No Land acquisition and litigation costs
 Minimal Environmental Impact
 Address socio-economic need
 Good Solution, futuristic, fast and cheap
 Preserve city's culture while being realistic towards
solution
4
Why it is needed

5.  Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km
compared to road-based transport system.
 Causes less noise, no air pollution and eco
friendly transport system.
 Occupies no road space if underground and only
about 2.60 meters width of the road if elevated.
 Reduces journey time.
 Cost effective mass transport system.
 Reducing traffic transport problems.

23. SAFETY ACTION
 Cut & cover method with continuous diaphragm
walls.
 Diaphragm walls are constructed in advance using
slurry trench method.
 Walls are laterally supported by rolledbuilt up steel
section.
 Vertical rolledbuilt up steel section is used to satisfy
slenderness limit in diaphragm wall & support traffic
as well.
 Stretches of 6.6m in dia. With 300mm thick concrete
lining.

24.  The Mumbai Metro Railway System Will Cover A Distance Of 146
Km And Link India’s Financial And Entertainment Capital With Its
Suburbs.
 The government of the of Maharashtra and the private Reliance
Dhirubhai Ambani Group will share the costs of the corridor with the
private company picking up 74% of the tab.
 A six coach broad gauge train could have carried the same
number of passengers as an eight coach standard gauge train.
 A six coach broad gauge train could have carried the same
number of passengers as an eight coach standard gauge train.
 It means lower operational cost, lower electricity cost.

38. integrated ticket for bus & metro rail.
Luggage carrying facility should be there.
To encourage people to use Metro there should be
a separate parking place for the monthly pass
holders.
Concern authority should drop their kind attention
to minimize the maintenance cost.

Suggestions

39. Although Metro systems are more reliable,
comfortable and safer than road based systems & it
reduce congestion on the roads. However
systems planned in India shows that cost
overrunning and under utilization of capacity.
Methodology and arguments used to justify
these systems needs careful analysis. High
capacity system does not necessarily generate
high demand. Estimation of passenger
demand for transit services should consider
complete journey of commuters including
access time. 39
