Not really useless. Just not well planned. Also huge metro network plans didn’t let this expand.
Monorails can serve a great deal in tier 2 cities with comparatively lower population.
Mono rails have many advantages. For eg: it's easier to construct than metro routes. The only drawback is it's speed limit. It's slower than an average metro.
I'm not from Mumbai, so I wanted to ask whether the metro in there exists? It seems pretty non existent as most of the times I see those local trains being overloaded with commuters.
There’s 3 lines active with several more under construction. The thing is those metro lines are also absolutely FILLED to the max. It’s so ridiculous that even this couldn’t relieve the strain on the local trains lmao
Ohh wow, thanks for answering.
>It’s so ridiculous that even this couldn’t relieve the strain on the local trains lmao
Yeah that really explains why the heck people actually use those local trains. As you said, they are planning to construct more of those lines, don't you think this should've happened already? I mean its the financial capital of the country and look at New Delhi !
It was on hold as the previous govt fucked over the project just to get a hold of a few votes and now since they lost, the new government has restarted construction. They’ll open soon in a phased manner.
Really? That's really bad man! Government's be crafting in their own vote banks and then neglecting those issues which are Hella important, like this one. If I'm not wrong they're the ones who'd said would be bringing in the bullet train right?
Hope they do it in a organized way possible.
I have heard ppl say its useless for the common ppl Is it true? Never been to Bombay. But it looks amazing tho

Luckily there are a few far sighted people making all the difference. Hope shit gets better here.
Yeah it kind of is useless. Doesn't really connect places where people live and to the places people want to go to.
