Plan bus routes on upcoming roads to ease burden on Mumbai locals: Experts

MUMBAI: Road travel in the city is costlier and takes longer than train, resulting perhaps in th18e overcrowding of the locals during peak hours. But transport experts say if upcoming infrastructure projects are designed to accommodate dedicated bus routes and suburban trains are operated cyclically, it will help ease the burden on suburban train services as well as road traffic.

Transport expert Jagdeep Desai said in Delhi, Kolkata and every city in the world with Metro rail, services are operated cyclically. He said for instance a Virar-Churchgate train should be followed by a Borivli-Churchgate, then Andheri-Churchgate and so on. "This will automatically segregate train commuter traffic," he said.

Desai said that the muchdelayed road and rail projects can give benefits only with the proper placement of bus stops and efficient bus and train services.

Another senior transport expert said the Monorail won't bring much relief unless completed between Chembur and Jacob Circle, and a proper bus service on the road below. "Similarly, Metro will help only when started on the entire 12km between Ghatkopar and Versova. The Metro should have been taken across the Eastern Express Highway till Chembur, to ease road and suburban rail traffic," he said, emphasizing on the need to plan better bus services on these routes.

"Milan flyover and the elevated Sahar road will only benefit cars, especially airport traffic. Another flyover is essential across Khar subway between SV Road and WEH, to feed traffic to the upcoming SCLR," he said."All these road projects promise nothing for bus traffic. The MMRDA and BEST should jointly figure out how to convert car and train traffic into bus traffic to decongest the existing road and rail corridors, once the new road and rail routes start operations," he stated.
