    Acknowledgements This document has emerged from a partnership of disparate groups of concerned individuals and organizations who have been engaged with the issue of exploring sustainable housing solutions in the city of Mumbai. The Kamala Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture (KRVIA), which has compiled this document, contributed its professional expertise to a collaborative endeavour with Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC), an NGO involved with urban poverty. The discussion is an attempt to create a new language of sustainable urbanism and architecture for this metropolis. Thanks to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) authorities for sharing all the drawings and information related to Dharavi. This project has been actively guided and supported by members of the National Slum Dwellers Federation (NSDF) and Dharavi Bachao Andolan: especially Jockin, John, Anand, Savita, Anjali, Raju Korde and residents’ associations who helped with on-site documentation and data collection, and also participated in the design process by giving regular inputs. The project has evolved in stages during which different teams of researchers have contributed. Researchers and professionals of KRVIA’s Design Cell who worked on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project were Deepti Talpade, Ninad Pandit and Namrata Kapoor, in the first phase; Aditya Sawant and Namrata Rao in the second phase; and Sujay Kumarji, Kairavi Dua and Bindi Vasavada in the third phase. Thanks to all of them. We express our gratitude to Sweden’s Royal University College of Fine Arts, Stockholm, (DHARAVI: Documenting Informalities ) and Kalpana Sharma (Rediscovering Dharavi ) as also Sundar Burra and Shirish Patel for permitting the use of their writings.

  • Bus Pass Scheme in Detail the Undertaking Has Introduced RF-ID Based Bus Passes for Its Esteemed Commuters
    Bus Pass Scheme in detail The Undertaking has introduced RF-ID based Bus Passes for its esteemed commuters. The Bus Pass will be issued at the authorized Point of Sale (PoS) of the Undertaking. The details of the scheme are as under. The following rates will come in force from 16/09/2015: i) Distance-wise bus pass values (on Km basis) Distance Fare (`) Within Mumbai Municipal Slab(Kms) Limits (`) Monthly Quarterly 2 8.00 390 1160 4 10.00 480 1440 6 14.00 680 2020 10 18.00 870 2600 14 22.00 1060 3170 20 26.00 1250 3750 Distance is computed on following principles: If direct route exists between the origin and destination, then distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If more than one direct route exists between the origin and destination, minimum distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If direct route is not available between the origin and destination, then distance is calculated of the routes with one change-over point. In case of multiple routes with one change-over point, minimum distance with change-over is considered for calculating the bus pass value. In the event of non-availability of connection between origin and destination even with one change-over, distance based bus pass cannot be given. Under such circumstances, passengers are advised to opt for fixed amount pass. As the bus operation is being changed as per the demand, distance between origin and destinations may not be constant. Under such circumstances bus pass values shall also increase or decrease.
