There is general happiness from the commuters, for, the misery of crowded locals and the uncertainties of the three-wheeler or the yellow-black cab shall ideally be greatly reduced. ”“But here is the killer – it’s going to roll over Prateeksha!! So bye bye privateness and hello fellow traveller,” Bachchan rued in the blog. Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil, in an oblique reference to Bachchan’s comments that the Mumbai Metro railway would invade his privacy, said it was unlucky that people were angry by infrastructure tasks that would make life easier for the folks of the city.“Mumbai traffic is growing, travel conditions are worsening by the day… people spend four-five hours in commuting daily.

We have to think of them,” Patil told reporters in his office. Patil wondered how the government could attempt solving Mumbai’s serious traffic difficulties if it got objections to every such scheme.A few years back, Lata Mangeshkar had opposed a flyover going past her home on Pedder Road in south Mumbai.
