Mumbai stands as the wealthiest city in India and is well-known for its diverse culture and is considered a melting pot of several cultures and communities. Traffic congestion remains a major apprehension despite the progress in technological fields concerning public transportation. With a present population of over 21 million, the city generates more than 17 million trips in a day. Majority of Mumbaikars depend on local trains and buses as their means of egress.
The increasing death toll is an indicator of the over-the-limit utilization of Mumbai local. A number of proposals are being made in order to minimize this problem of congestion like the mono-rail and metro networks. The challenge here is to propose a new system ‘Hyper Local’ for the commuters and express the vision of how the city might appear in 2030. It is a new network that caters to existing and upcoming issues of Mumbai - and is not limited to commuting, but more.
