🚆 VIJAYAWADA AS A PAN-INDIA TRANSIT HUB BY 2047:

My vision is to connect every Indian city with a population above 1L to BZA through a direct or seamless rail connectivity, developing BZA into a National Rail Transit Interchange connecting all corners of India

@drmvijayawada

@drmvijayawada A dedicated platform structure is req for better management of Trains halting at BZA.

@rlda_india Vijayawada Junction deserves a full-scale 108m air concourse, substantial platform capacity (from 10 to 16), Better Station Building and direct skywalk integration with PNBS

​Redevelopment of #Vijayawada Railway Station costs (₹742 Cr) more than MAS (₹500 Cr), CBE (₹400 Cr), BPL (₹400 Cr) & is nearly on par with SBC (₹850 Cr)

Yet, despite this massive outlay, the current DPR falls drastically short of long-term transit vision:

[Vijayawada Infrastructure Forum @VjaInfraForum]

@rlda_india 3. Poor Station Building Design:

The proposal looks like a generic commercial complex rather than an iconic, climatically responsive transit hub. The budget prioritizes developer retail space over commuter circulation and seamless platform accessibility.
