Guest Shivani Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Wow ... it seriously looks gorgeous :nice: I so wanna go to Mumbai now :crazy4:
EnterTheVoid Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Beautiful, isn't it ? :isalute: Good to see India making the news for something constructive as opposed to the usual BS of terrorism, over population, pollution, poverty etc.
DomainK Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Today's TOI reports that the sea link can not handle 3000 cars at rush time. The problem is the bottleneck created at each end.
DomainK Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 And honestly, they should have made four lanes on each side. Did they not foresee how much Mumbai is going to grow in the next 10 years?:wall:

Only one side is completely ready, the other side is being worked on and will open by December.

All I see is 4 lanes. edit: Just saw the video, you are right. I took the road divider to be the bridge wall.:P

Holysmoke Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 I took the link to work yesterday morning and today morning as well. The way from worli to bandra is very very smooth. My travel time from south mumbai to andheri has been reduced to 45 mins from 1 hr 15 mins. There is a bottleneck on the worli side while coming from bandra, which i found out last night :(( But all in all, I think yesterday was an aberration with a lot of motorists on the link because it was the first day. The worli side also will be sorted out soon, and once the toll starts, I think it is going to be very smooth.

Holysmoke Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 here is what i dont understand. daily pass = 75 rs 75*30 days in a month = 2250 monthly pass = 2500????
DomainK Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 here is what i dont understand. daily pass = 75 rs 75*30 days in a month = 2250 monthly pass = 2500???? I am not sure.....but may be a monthly pass allows you to pass as many times as you want through that road in a month.
Holysmoke Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 I am not sure.....but may be a monthly pass allows you to pass as many times as you want through that road in a month. yeah but isnt 2500 a lot for a monthly pass? seeing as you can buy a return ticket daily and save money? I doubt regular people travel from bandra to worli and back more than once a day
DomainK Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 You are right. And the office going people go to office five days a week. Thats only 20 days a month.
Guest Hiten. Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Now there is an issue in naming the Sealink. Kangress wants to name it uniquely and christen it "Rajiv Gandhi" (wow never heard that one before) whereas the ghaati's (Shiv Sena) wants to name it "veer savarkar". What is wrong with Bandra-Worli sealink itself ? We don't have to name all the monuments after the Gandhi family for *** sakes :mad:

Guest Hiten. Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hyderabad is a proud owner of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport' date=' Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. :bow:[/quote'] We are proud owner of Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus :bow:
nikred Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 We are proud owner of Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport' date=' Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus :bow:[/quote'] At least he is a Maharashtrian. A great warrior and deserves that respect. Now I have nothing against Rajivs and Nehrus. But look at our politicians, instead of honoring local heroes and making them immortal they are trying to score brownie point with Sonia madam. :((
umpire Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 ^thats still fine. Picture this, Rajkot's cricket stadium is named Madhavroa Scindia Stadium. I tried to find connection between him and rajkot, found none. Only reason he was in BCCI, congress politician and cricket lover. Couldn't they name is Mahatma Gandhi Stadium, Mahatma has lot of connection with Rajkot
Holysmoke Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Took me 5 mins from Worli to Bandra this morning. My travel time to Andheri has been reduced by 30 mins.
DomainK Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 There should be a rule that nothing in India can be named after a politician. Find soldiers, scientists, businessmen, economists, artists and start naming things after them.
