Probable Benefits of Kickbacks in Transportation Infrastructure

Sucheta Dalal, a prominent financial journalist well-known for her candid observations, recently shared her thoughts on Mumbai’s transportation infrastructure. Her comments came in response to a post by another user showcasing the traffic congestion in the city.

The user shared a photo of a jam-packed road in Mumbai alongside a caption expressing frustration about the lack of solutions to city traffic. Dalal, active on the microblogging platform X, didn’t hold back in her assessment of the situation.

In Mumbai, the Metro 3 or Aqua Line serves as the city’s first underground rapid transit system, connecting areas from Northern Mumbai to South Mumbai. Currently, only half of the line is operational, with the remainder still under construction. In contrast, Metro 4 is a separate line under construction, stretching from Eastern Mumbai to Thane City.

Dalal’s response hinted at positive developments, referencing a public transportation focus announced by Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis. This suggests that improvements may be on the horizon for Mumbai’s transportation woes.
