Make metro eco-friendly.
Your report, Swift,Silent and Safe (Times Of India,9/1/09) , gives a comprehensive idea about the first metro line, Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar line. It is to be appreciated that the transparent roof of the stations would use maximum natural light. If solar panels are used not only on the roof of the stations but all along the route, it would reduce the use of fossile fuel and make it more eco-friendly as well. If an extension could be added to the Airport from the Airport Road station, it would reduce vehicular traffic. These are the suggestions to the Maharashtra Government and the contractors, Mumbai Metro One Private Limited to make the Metro truly futuristic.
