The disputed #Metro3 #MumbaiMetro line 3 carshed site at aarey *colony* (not forest). Land has trees but it’s sparsely vegetated. You can see large areas of sky here. Located on fringe of the colony away from core densely vegetated area (1/3) @rajtoday @sambitlnt

Newton's first law of politics states that the more you oppose the Congress, the more you begin to behave like the congress.

Lol such fear mongering from a so called Urban planner

[Bhaumik Gowande @bhaumikgowande]

Thane feels like temperature is 50.8°C in October. Wait till the SGNP underground tunnel chokes thane with vehicles along with a planned DATA CENTRE.
It is going to be an Ecological disaster.

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

While all trains are getting cancelled, what does WR do?

They reschedule Mumbai rajdhani & AK Rajdhani such that they'll reach Delhi after 2 pm

Shows their prestige in WR and how WR will go to any length to keep them running

Mumbai Rajdhani - bas naam kaafi hai.

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

@ShivamVahia @VishalBhargava5 It ends in dead end 😂😂

@Ayush_Shah_25 @AshwiniVaishnaw Mumbai station have no good effort in redevelopment

@bhaumikgowande You can't spend even a minute without belittling others isn't it

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

BJP is failing spectacularly on municipal governance. Probably the folks have got too greedy

[sameer dontulwar @sameerdontulwar]

Used this today only with Bike , what a shame man , 15000 crore corporation with Full Majority at all levels

We are nearing one year of corporation elections and this is heading no where

What is Chandrakant Patil doing ? He is seen no where in constituency

Will risk breaking a few bones but won't buy dirt cheap ticket. Super dehati mentality of public

We want all facilities like first world but wont pay a rupee for it.

[Trains of India 🇮🇳 @trainwalebhaiya]

More than half the passengers reportedly deboarded a moving train because ticket checking was underway ahead at the station. Such a sad state of affairs.

If we, as citizens, are so irresponsible that we can’t even buy a ₹10 ticket, do we really deserve all the development and better facilities we demand?

@kkorde01 @gau_dab @myBESTBus Iron rod on aisle side is gone now.

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

@zoru75 @RahulChels @VishalBhargava5 Yes that is senseless considering interchange station. But still your comparison of Andheri West metro station with Andheri railway station is even more senseless

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

There is no railway station called Andheri West

[Zoru Bhathena @zoru75]

Only in Mumbai

Andheri West Railway Station
is 3 kms away from
Andheri West Metro Station

And also in Mumbai
We have two Andheri Metro Stations
Metro1 Andheri Station &
Metro2 Andheri Station
which are also 3 kms away from each other

Passengers deserve dignity, safety, adequate capacity and basic human treatment. 🇮🇳

But they expect it all for free.

[Jharkhand Rail Users @JharkhandRail]

🚨 PASSENGERS IN TOILETS. HUMAN DIGNITY: 404 NOT FOUND!

🚆 13352 Alleppey–Dhanbad Express
📅 5 Oct 2026 | 📍 Jolarpettai

Passengers were reportedly forced to travel inside the toilet amid severe overcrowding.

Let that sink in.

A railway ticket bought. A seat unavailable. And finally… a toilet becomes a coach.

@AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, would you—or senior railway officials @GM_ECRly @drmdhnecr—ever travel like this?

If not, why should ordinary passengers?

Passengers deserve dignity, safety, adequate capacity and basic human treatment. 🇮🇳

🚨 JHARKHAND NEEDS ACTION — NOT EXCUSES!

🔹 Increase the frequency of 22363/64 Dhanbad–Coimbatore Amrit Bharat and consider the Barka Kana–Daltonganj–Singaruli route.

🔹 Make 16619/20 Coimbatore–Dhanbad a DAILY service.

🔹 Introduce a Dhanbad–Bokaro Steel City–Ranchi–Bengaluru/Mysuru service with 1AC/2AC/3AC/SL/GEN coaches.

Jharkhand contributes enormously to Railway revenues. The people of Jharkhand deserve connectivity, comfort and dignity—not overcrowding that forces passengers into toilets.

🙏 @narendramodi Ji
🙏 @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji
Railways are for people — not people for railways.

@HemantSorenJMM Ji, Jharkhand’s railway issues need urgent and active intervention.

🔴 RT if you believe Jharkhand deserves better railway connectivity.

@srdencomumbaicr @drmmumbaicr @vfirke @WesternRly @drmbct @srdombct @Gmwrly @srdomcogbbcr Why is Kanjurmarg 6th line to 4th line still at 15 kmph then? There is no 1 in 8.5 crossover there

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

. @WesternRly @drmbct @srdombct Borivali platform 1, 2, 3 to up slow line turnouts should be 30 kmph. For nearly 20 years these turnouts are stuck at 15 kmph causing severe bottleneck

Surely 20 years are enough to find some solution? Or you aren't interested? @Gmwrly

[Nationalist Mumbaikar 🇮🇳™ @Ayush_Shah_25]

Suburbs have again been mistreated

1. Only 8 Services for Borivali compared to 16 for Dadar

2. Does not cater for peak time flights in Morning and Afternoon as well as Late nights

3. Only useful stop is T1 Airport. Rest are waste

4. Prices are Exorbitant and Discriminatory

[Yash Mhadgut 🇮🇳 @Explorer_Yash]

@akshaywcam1 On the other hand, Zoru can also say

If Western Express Highway is along with Western line, why the Highway along the Central line called Central Express Highway? 🤣

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

@AttackerOP429 Yes

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

Thick piers coming up adjoining WR track for Parel ROB. Pile cap work is done it seems or soon to be done.

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

Only in Mumbai!

When Western express Highway is on east side of Western railway tracks why is it called western express Highway and not Eastern express Highway?

My BMC! Always confusing Mumbaikars

#TweetLikeZoru

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

@zoru75 But why do you want it to go away? Andheri West metro station is in an area called Andheri West. What is the problem with it? Why unnecessarily link it with Andheri railway station?

@RahulChels and @VishalBhargava5 pliss explain what your friend is trying to prove here

[Akshay Marathe @akshaywcam1]

You know who to thank for rotating handrest 😇😇
