Justification of Alignment Justification of Alignment The present proposed alignment from Colaba to SEEPZ via BKC has been finalized by combining Line III and Line VI. Line III had been proposed underground from Colaba to Mahim and elevated from Mahim to Bandra. Line VI was underground from Mahim to ITO and elevated from ITO to Kanjur marg. Another alternative in this alignment was elevated from Mahim to ITO. Considering the environmental, social, traffic and land availability aspects, it was decided to keep the proposed alignment underground. The metro connectivity to the CSIA has been expedited and put in the phase 1, rather than in the phase 3 as per Metro Master Plan by merging Line 6 of phase3, named BKC- Kanjur Marg via Airport with the Line 3 of phase I, i.e Colaba- Mahim-Bandra and run through services from Colaba till SEEPZ. Alternate alignment Two alternatives were taken between Cuffe Parade Road and Vidhan Bhawan for analysis. These two alternatives were studied and their benefits and drawbacks were examined, which are depicted in subsequent para. Alternative-I From Cuffe Parade Road (fisherman colony), alignment takes left turn to cross the sea and follows the Jamnala Bajaj Road and passes in front of Vidhan Bhawan. The major disadvantage of the alignment is that the 600 m alignment was passing under sea. Alternative-II From Cuffe Parade Road, alignment follows Foreshore Road (Captain Prashant Pethe Marg) and takes left turn near Fire station and passes through State Govt. Barracks and between Vidhan Bhawan/SBI building. The merit of this alignment is that it is close to Mantralaya as well as Vidhan Bhawan. The major advantage is to serve the important catchment areas of Colaba localities. Also by selecting this alignment the route passing under sea in Alternative is avoided. Hence, MMRDA has decided to adopt Alternative II to serve additional catchment areas and avoid the sea route. .

Tied by a thin vestige of earth and rock – an umbilical cord of sorts – to the motherland. A kind mother. A cruel mother. A mother that has indulged as much as it has denied. A mother that has typically left the identity of the father in doubt. Like a whore. To speak of fathers who have fought for the right to sire: with each new pretender has come a new name. The babies have juggled many monikers, reflected in the schizophrenia the city seems to suffer from.

Increase in household income, increase in commercial and industrial activities has further added to transport demand in metropolitan regions like Mumbai Metro Politian Region (MMR). Hence India is concentrating more on the urban infrastructure like construction of many expressways, freeways, BRTS etc. to accommodate the rapidly growing urbanization and also to get relieved from congestion. Many a times the geographical constraints also limit the opportunities for creating the infrastructure and force the government to build the transport infrastructure with very high investment through various PPR (Public Private Partnership) model.
