    Mumbai CST to become World-Class Station. Go Mumbai smart cards to be introduced on CR from March. Can be used on BEST buses too. Multi-layered parking, lifts and escalators at designated station’s CCTV’s, baggage scanners at all major stations.

    Well, seems that mr. Lalu is over hyping the profits of Railways. Clearly the budget is to attract voters for coming elections. There are many question which are still unanswered like how he will handle upcoming traffic as the expansion and plans he made are based upon todays need but all he promised will take around 3-5 years to make reality and what about needs of that time  ?

    Also, he says that railway is modernizing but why the fact is overlooked that only 1/3rd of railway infrastructure is being worked upon and rest is still to be looked upon.
