Water metro train: After Kochi, preparations are being made to run a water metro in Mumbai, the second city in the country. It is being developed as an alternative means of transport. This will help people get rid of getting stuck in traffic jams while going to office. On Monday, the consultants of Kochi Water Metro presented a proposal for this project. It has been suggested to build 29 terminals and start 10 routes in the Mumbai area, this project will include facilities for passengers at jetty terminals, purchase of boats and other necessary facilities.

Maharashtra Fisheries and Port Minister Nitesh Rane said, “Water Metro is an important transport option for Mumbai. Its work should start as soon as possible.” He directed that the state, Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB), submit the complete plan of this project within three months. The estimated budget of this project is Rs 2,500 crore. This project will reduce travel time in Mumbai and will help in reducing congestion in trains, buses and road traffic.

Will be connected by bus and local trains

Rane said that the jetty and metro terminal should be developed like metro stations built on the ground. These should be connected with other modes of transport like buses and local trains, so that passengers can get convenience. The work of preparing the feasibility report of this project was given to Kochi Metro Rail Limited. They have submitted their report to the ministry.

Preparations to keep fares low

Rane emphasized on the possibilities of water transport in Mumbai. He said that there are many opportunities for water metro in areas like Bandra, Worli, Versova, South Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. “While choosing the route, priority should be given to those routes which have more passengers and are more profitable. Ticket prices should also be kept such that they are affordable for the common people.” He also said that water metro will be a good option for traveling from North Mumbai to South Mumbai and Navi Mumbai to South Mumbai. This project will not only make travel easier but will also help in reducing the traffic problem of Mumbai. It will prove to be a modern, cheap and fast mode of transport for Mumbaikars.

A look at Kochi Metro

According to Kochi Water Metro, once the metro is fully operational, 34000 people will be able to travel daily. The metro will cover a total distance of 76 km. The water metro will connect 10 islands. Its speed is 8 to 10 km. Currently 8 water metros are operating, in future 78 water metros will be operated. A water metro has a seating arrangement for 50 people and a standing arrangement for 50 people. That means 100 people can travel in a water metro. Since the water metro is a part of Kochi Metro Rail Limited, there is only one card for both metro and water metro.
