[sustran] Sky bus for Mumbai

[Debi Goenka]

I have just attended a presentation made by Mr Rajaram,
Managing Director of Konkan Railway Ltd., on his proposal to
set up a "Sky Bus" in Mumbai, and other parts of India.

This is a revolutionary concept which will apparently
provide cheap, clean, non-polluting mass transport to the
citizens of Mumbai. Capital Costs are estimated at Rs.450
million per kilometre. Travel costs are estimated at Rs.0.30
per passenger kilometre. Time required to put up this
project is 2 years. All components are prefabricated and
assembled on site.

Maximum capacity of this project is 90,000 passengers per
hour per direction!!

The Maharashtra Government Cabinet has already approved this
project in principle.

Sounds good, doesn't it?

Cheers

Debi
