Highlighted Comments

Much awaited Metro for Mumbaikar's

It will be a huge boost to the public transport in the city and the suburbs.

Local is best - cheap, efficient, fast, no changing of trains, no long lines for baggage checking.

This may be the longest line, but it is also kinda ill planned.

People will take the fastest route unless they have financial constraints.
