SkyTran (now an Indian company after acquisition by RIL) will be launched for trials in 2 to 3 years in Bangalore and USA.
"Nitin Seth, CEO, New Mobility, RIL said, “By 2025, the company plans to put the first 2.5 km to test in Bangaluru and US as well.” He was speaking at the Dassault Systèmes Annual Flagship Event, the 3DExperience Forum India 2022."



They have recently increased stakes in it meaning serious investment.

They increased it to twice as their old investment in 2021

Ya'll Nibbiars Now it is difficult to travel even in an AC coach, even AC has become a sleeper coach. TT allowed the passenger to sit. Those who have seats there are getting into trouble, they can't even sleep comfortably. Great indian railway. Train no.12304, coach B1.

standard practice when there is change in govt.
Cong asks for credit for projects completed by BJP govts because the latter usually don't outright scrap development projects initiated by prev govts. Congress when in power doesn't build anything and stops as many ongoing projects as possible, just so the opposition can't reverse Uno them.

Stop exaggerating. The metro construction is being done by RVNL, a central govt PSU. And the delays are due land acquisition issues and definitely not construction pace.

In terms of public transportation, Kolkata is the best among all metro cities (with only Mumbai in contention).

Cut the crap! This is your average Mumbai bus:


And the avg Kolkata sarkari bus:


It's not like other Indian cities have east asian level infrastructure lol.

Madrassis I mean human filth of the highest order like Raghuram Rajan have surrendered their green cards and foreign passports to live in Tamil Nadu.
For context, Kolkata didn't build a single km of Metro when Momota and Dinesh Trivedi were railway ministers. It took the BJP to come to power and actually get new metro lines opened in the city for the first time in 40 years.

Absolute beauti. You hit the spot.
One has to pay minimum 300 rupees for 1 km taxi ride in Kolkata because 50% Bhada goes to Union Gundas.
I think the 300 rupees is for the dents they inevitably acquire enroute, from other taxis nonchalantly bumping into them to nudge them forward in traffic. :lol: is that still standard practice there? It's such a uniquely Kolkata phenomenon. Never witnessed something like it anywhere else.

Kolkata transport>>>>>> Any state transport.

-Wide Roads. Most are 2/4 lanes now.
L238 from Barasat to Howarah.
44a Baguiati to howrag
45 will take you baguati to salt lake.
121 c will take you hatiara to sealdah.
Some 10 such busses on each route that will take you to different parts of the city, so at most you will need to change one bus.

-Plenty of taxi services the yellow ones are almost gone now replaced by ola Uber
- Local train will take you through the old city.
- Metro would have been completed on time of Mamta was not there.
-Auto on almost every non posh areas.
-Traffic police actually do their job.
-Lots of car Rental services.
-Lots of Flyovers decongesting busy route.

Spend 35 rs and go from Barasat to Howah 28 km
Spend 80 rs and for AC
