Need of more buses in KhargharKharghar is developing very fast. The residential areas over here are expanding rapidly. The population here is rising day by day. But the bus service here is not at all satisfactory. People in this region have to make use of suburban train services and the few buses that connect to Mumbai.
The growing rush in buses and trains has frustrated the residents over here. The trains are also crowded and it is becoming impossible for many to even board the train. People who have money can afford cabs or rickshaws. But what about those people who can't afford this luxury? Also the auto fares are continuously on the rise. Both Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) and Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) are not bothered about the transport problems faced by the residents here. Had they been even a little concerned, both by now would have introduced few more buses and thus provided relief to the commuters residing in this node.
As far as Kharghar is concerned, there is a need for more buses to ply from sector 15, 16 and 17 to Taloja. This is because the offices of most of the Kharghar residents are located along these routes. There should also be buses connecting to Dadar, Thane and Mulund for the benefit of those Kharghar residents who have their workplaces outside Navi Mumbai.
The question is why NMMT and BEST are not buying new buses to solve this major problem? They should somehow get the government to provide them the necessary funds so that they are in a position to provide enough buses to Kharghar residents particularly since the problems of these people are genuine and need urgent attention.
The plight of Kharghar residents becomes more pathetic when they have to rush to hospitals patients who need urgent medical treatment. There should be enough buses that ply between residential areas of Kharghar and the areas where standard hospitals are located. Consideration should be given especially to those cancer patients who have to travel to Tata Hospital in Parel for treatment.
Kharghar residents who are affected by the problems arising due to scarcity of buses should forward their request for more buses to NMMC's planning department which in turn should work out a perfect solution to this problem by coordinating with the traffic department. This is the only way to solve this major problem.
