Ahmedabad metro rail has a lot to do like Manhattan Metro in America

Ahmedabad, 30 September 2022

After Ahmedabad’s expensive Gujarat Metro Rail, much remains to be done. If Ahmedabad has to have good rail service, it will have to act like the Manhattan city of America. BJP’s three-engine government can also bring Metro Tax. There are many woks left to make. Parking is pending.

Ahmedabad Metro Rail is an expensive facility with low coverage. A metro rail network has to spend two hundred and three hundred crore rupees per kilometer. The cost of underground metro is Rs 400 crore. There are huge day to day expenses after investing in metro. The cost of operation is also very high. A total of 4,000 personnel, including police security, can be deployed in 100 km.

Be ready for Metro Vera

Cities like Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Manhattan have the fastest and better service than Ahmedabad. All these cities invest in public transport through taxes and fees, with special permission to build high-rise buildings around metro stations. Around the 100 km long metro rail track in Ahmedabad, such a tax can be levied in a short time. Permission has been given to build Bilgadingo. But no fee or tax is levied.

In some countries, cheap homes are built around metropolises. So that more and more people can come in the metro. Have to do it in Ahmedabad. The builder lobby has been given more FSI, but people have not got any benefit in cheap houses.

Way

The 60 km around the metro area is to be made more walkable. More people can easily use public transport. At least 20 walkways are to be constructed. Instead of a walkway on the Sabarmati river, there was a need to build a walkway connecting the metro station. There is not even a single box today. People are not in the habit of walking in Ahmedabad, now with the advent of metro, people will have to make such a habit. For this we have to campaign.

Parking

To run the metro by creating paid parking for private vehicles around the metro, revenue will have to be generated. Parking is planned in the master plan of Ahmedabad. But it was not implemented. Political will to implement is not power, but money is power.

A lot left

Everything is not over with the introduction of metro rail. Metro Rail is one step. After that many facilities and financial planning will have to be done. There is still a long way to go, a lot has to be done to reduce the traffic problem of the city. With Metro 10 public transport service is a stop, not a final destination. There are still many camps left. So by 2025 the cost of metro rail can be 30 thousand crores.

Create a service like abroad

After the metro for public transport, many projects are coming up. You have to invest continuously. Long term integrated planning has to be done. A ‘Public Transport Programme’ is to be created. Costly roads will have to be built to reduce traffic, pollution and accidents. Will have to compete with foreign cities. Only when this happens, the investment of Rs 50,000 crore of public service will be useful to the people.
