- The Maharashtra government has recently given its approval for Pod Taxis to operate between Mumbai's Bandra and Kurla, via the Bandra Kurla Complex. These Pod Taxis are small, electric and driverless vehicles that have a limited capacity of carrying passengers. You may be wondering why these pod taxis are being introduced in Mumbai's BKC area and what exactly they are. To find out more about pod taxis, watch the video.

There is no way you can run pod taxis for thousands of people at a fast frequency . All you need is the metro. ppl can walk the last 5-10 mins
yes metro is needed but pod taxi will also be very helpful in reducing cars. Both are good.
lol. people dont walk in BKC thats the problem. And even with the pods, people have to still walk 10 mins
Its just waste of money
It is already getting Metro. Stop trying to derail infrastructure projects.
@@SuperYoman100 when was the last time you used the mono rail ? This is a useless project based off which money will be siphoned off. Just an invoice for corruption
Only 6 people in a pod taxi while 4-6 lakh people come for work in BKC, so how many pod taxis would be used? this would be of not much use, they should implement Metro as soon as possible
The Heathrow pods are running or can run at 2 second headways or some 1800 pods per hour. At 6 people per pod that's 10,800 people per direction per hour. Over 3 hours that's over 30,000 people from Bandra and another 30,000 from Kurla or roughly 15% of the 4 lakh you mention and these people are riding directly or almost directly to their destination. That's going to be substantially better than any alternative and we're talking just one shift. Add in a second or even a third shift and the numbers look even better. Nevermind the visitors during the day will have quicker access to these offices too giving us a potential one way inbound of 1 lakh per day.
There are no technical reasons why these pods can not run at shorter headways of 1 or even 0.5 seconds increasing the capacity to 3600 or 7200 pods per hour. They have a lot of potential that will shine in this project.
What is reqd is a simple underground thing. A modern airconditioned pedestrian subway with a travelator from bandra to kurla station via BKC .
Why not metro from bandra east to kurla thats fair
Already under construction. Will get operational in 2026
Even monorail in going through useless route... If that was planned between Bandra and Kurla, it would helped a lot
Clear slums. Why no one is talking about illegal encroachment and slums
Peaceful community leaves there
Clear slums = lose vote bank.
highest migration of Rohingya and others
It's the pride of India yk.. certain youth leader said so
In 50 years india will still look like a slum
Instead of pod taxi increase frequency of best correct me if I am wrong
Bhai Jaan road ki hi Kami hai bus badhake kitna hi bhal.ho jayega 😢
Soon Mumbai will see taxi and auto rickshaw protest against podtaxi and local political parties like Ut-SS CON and NCon will support those protest because they are not in power do everything to stop those development. Environmental activists join them in protests with Bollywood stars. 😂😂😂
Soon? 😂 Have you not learnt anything from skybus project? This one is dead on arrival. Useless project approved just to eat government budget.
There r no taxis, only autos in bandra east. They r the lifeline for bkc going people
There should be a dedicated monorail bet bandra east to kurla
@@amitpatilamit do u even remember what was the year skybus failed? And also the reason why it failed ...u r giving an 20 year old example ... Dumbness at its best 🥴
@kamalrathod25 oooh... dumbness! Must be a wise guy writing this then. 😆 Just because a project was 20 years old doesn't mean an example is irrelevant. Also, it needs some intelligence to understand which example is used in what context. Don't worry, you will get it eventually, and you may also understand why these pods are called a useless project.
as long as udhav is not in power, there won't be any delays in any projects. 😂
Roger that 😂
I hope the project completes on time without any delays
Anything for suburbs beyond Bandra ? Esp for the Thane - Navi Mumbai belt ? So far the best infra & facilities in Mumbai are being built super fast to facilitate the lifestyle & business n work of the top strata of the Society -- the uber wealthy folks, top politicians, International Embassies ....
Yes make sense no?? If your most busy and most business concentrated area lacks facilities.
Then how can you justify providing those facilities in suburban area.
Now you will say why we can't do for both areas then the answer is budget.
@@prasadRANE1306 Which are the most 'business concentrated' & busiest areas of Mumbai ? Are facilities & infra supposed to be only for the Wealthy & Businesses ? Or even for average common people ?
Naa I don't agree ..Thane have decent infra ... It's at peak I agree ... but borivali Thane tunnel has started ... Mira road - Thane metro project is approved not started yet ... Coastal road will be extended till virar .... Virar alibaug industrial corridor is there !!! So this uber wealthy folks thing doesn't make much sense ...trust me these uber wealthy folks don't use public transport 😅
@@kamalrathod25 All infra projects mentioned by you are in the future tense. What projects of last few years are complete as of date ? The unfinished & delayed metro project of which the partially constructed pillars on main roads has made roads & traffic situation worse , is that it ?
Thane is where CM Shinde's constituency is . But betterment of Thane is not on his important list. He & his son need the Thane- Kalyan area only to get elected
@@kamalrathod25 Whats being built real fast in South Mumai & areas near it are some of the best roads & tunnels -- the far off suburbs esp Thane Navi Mumbai area will certainly never have anything like these.
& current fast completed projects are facilitaing the business of the Wealthy. The Atal Trans Harbour Link construction started April 2018 & completed Jan 2024 ----- abt 4 years minus Covid years . Where does it end ? Ulwe , an area dominated by Reliance Industries. Ulwe is not known for being a residential area .
Pods for lakhs of commuters... Waah... Kya dimaag hai
The idea of pod is to replace the buses ... Roads can't be expanded... Metro is already reaching there .. and the map of pod shown in video makes sense that it have multiple routes and stops ...not easier to achieve with metro ... FYI, Most the people travel to BKC by autos ...so they won't mind pods
A skybus should have been considered not a pod taxi
Upcomming Mumbai projects
Sounds exciting.. Can't wait. Let's get future ready India!
Dream city Mumbai
Try the suburbs much beyond Bandra . These are crap
Finally some sane move. Travelling from Bandra stn to BKC via rickshaw is anyday riskier.
Very well compiled video, absolutely spot on👍🏻
Start electric tram more viable and fissible..
they are high cost low value
Excellent presentation
Stupid plan and waste of money and infrastructure.
Why not add more busses to ply from station to BKC
Buses hawa me ud Rahi hai toh tumhari baat ekdum sahi hai dost
Another white elephant like monorail..
it will not cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport
This will mean again construction in bkc ,, he bhagwan aur traffic
When I used to work in BKC during 2014-16 I used to wonder why Government is not constructing Metro line between Bandra East to Kurla West because while returning it used to take one hour to reach Kurla West Station from Income Tax Office BKC due to traffic and Signals
it will not cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport.....and also they are willing to pay more
Those were the worst days of BKC.... Used to get stuck for hour just to exit BKC
Shut up, y'all are just doing this for clickbaits, ain't no way we're reinventing trains
2:00 You can't blame the BBC for this. This looks like HELL.
This idea doesn't make sense to me..its not an efficient mode of transport
cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport and they are willing to pay more
This would have been better of in airport transit at Mumbai and Navi Mumbai upcoming airport
What's up with the tweet at 0:14?
"distance is 8.80 km, that's it" but also "maximum 40 km"
"speed of 1 hour per hour"
Also, would love to see @AdamSomething react to this :P
😂
Instead, have metro rail . Do mumbai lack consultants to advise the government . Government doesn't care for common man .
Well the idea is good but, Instead of making these taxies small for just 6 people. The vehicle should be enlarged to carry atleast 100 people in double decker mode at time some thing similar to a bus size automated vehicle that would be able to avoid all the traffic and would cost less than building a full fledge metro system. . Just an idea what do you people think?😅😊
Jai hind
True ...6 is too less ... It looks more like replacing autos .. at least 20-30 ...coz 100 matlab toh bus hi ho gayi ...😄
it will not cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport
What a waste of money, havent we learn lesson from sky bus...such a fail project. Please extend the metro from bandra palli hill to chembur free way. Then it will make sense.
Then all taporis will flood mannat even more
Metro line 2B will run from Bandra to kurla
@@tanveer_gogada exactly my point just extend that more than again making this again.
@@trueindian510 sky bus was failed by the CONGRESS!!! if BJP would have continued from 2004 then sky bus would be there in Indian cities!
Now under bjp sky bus will run in pune
Bad idea.... for Mumbai crowd... metro only solution
I hope it will not become another useless project like monorail.
it will not cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport
@@arcaakvira But they already use their personal vehicle. Why would they use pod taxi?
@@sumandutta4834 traffic and congested roads that pass through slums
ek metro poori hui nahi aur monorail podtaxi ki baat krne lage abe koi feasibility analysis ya CBA bhi kiya h iska ya fir coin toss se hi decide kr liya
Why the bandra east slum is not removed? It's illegal occupancy anyway.
Vote bank.
Please make your further video in hindi please
In a country with more than 1.4 billion people, pod taxi makes no sense
What are pod taxis?
The dumbest idea since the Hyperloop, and Neom.
And both those ideas are the dumbest ideas of all time.
Although I have to admit, that painting the Hindenburg with thermite paint was right up there.
whats dumb about pod taxi. do people not use taxis?
Another scam for babus. Just get metros buses instead of this nonsense
th-cam.com/video/JyZkNM0gu9w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DNRciyMClYmvu26g
you cant do that. metro buses cant fulfill what a pod taxi can. last mile connectivity
Watch it to understand why podtaxi is useful as compared to buses and metro
th-cam.com/video/JyZkNM0gu9w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DNRciyMClYmvu26g
Also can't have more vehicles on road for last mile connectivity.
@shreyasbinjrajka7220 Are you aware of footfall BKC and both stations nearby get every day? It is not the last mile connectivity issue. It is a lack of enough transportation issue. Now they have to create "dedicated" infrastructure to run pod taxis! If you have to do that anyway, why not just create a better transportation system that can handle more people instead of 6 at a time? Also, when was the last time you saw 6 people in a 6 seater public transport vehicle? 😂
🔱🕉️🔱🇮🇳🔱 Excellent initiative. Thank you.
This is one of those stupid futuristic ideas like Hyperloop or X-Loop or something.😂
THIS IDEA IS SO DUMB IN OTHER COUNTRIES THIS IS FAILED PROJECT
LMAO
so? understand why it has failed. london heathrow pod taxi just goes 2 places. this will take you to 38. which ensures last mile connectivity. just like auto rickshaw but free from traffic.
Smells like corruption just like monorail
Only contractors are happy with this bs
im sure pod taxi company paid big bribe to get this project approved
This would be same disaster as Monorail Mumbai needs bulk passenger carriers not small taxis
cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport and they are willing to pay more, it won't be a failure crazy rich people will surely prefer this
Could you please have a better reporter
Not not just use metro or mono train ?
it will not cause mostly rich bandra people will use this that reduces load on other transport
This project is indeed a need of an hour, I used to travel to BKC to atlas SkillTech university, had to take the train sometimes as college used to be at peak hour morning traffic times and it would take me hours to drive there, so I used to take fully packed local train, but the struggle never ended there as so mentioned well that there is very inadequate infrastructure, the station is completely surrounded by slums, Rickshaw drivers used to only let me sit if I agree to pay the amount they ask for and not my meter and after paying the amount, because of so much Jam Pack traffic it used to take me almost 40 mins to reach there, I hope that this project just don't end up on papers and actually is constructed, and the government should not keep the fair of this pod taxis very cheap, they should be at a minimal but an affordable price so that decent crowd gets in and government can also earn from it.
Trying to copy China.but huge difference
Widen the roads and improve BEST Bus service instead.
sharing auto mafixa in kurla and bandra will kill this project!
This comment section is smarter than our government lol
Absolute Waste of Money and yet another disastrous project
What a waste of money. Create light rail instead.
Zyada hype kyun karte ho
To loot money
Write it down this will be a white elephant for Mumbai municipal pure waste of money
first mono rail now pod taxi
Pod Taxi should be between Andheri East to MIDC 😂.❤
Auto ki dadagiri hai
sab mumbai me paisa kharcha hoga?
Mumbai tax sabse jyada bharta hai
@@solield3911 mumbai k 5% log tax bharte hoge...baki sab free wale hai....aur jitna hona tha usse jyada hi develop kar diya hai but....ab mumbai choddo. wese bhi 2050 tak city will be under water.
@@jikarbhati44935%? Bhaang kha rakhi hai? Most of them are doing white collar jobs ...unka tax company hi kaat leti hai 😅
@@kamalrathod25 tere jaise saste shokh nahi hai...lol white collar jobs..tu dharavi me reh k white collar job ki baat kar raha hai....bada ho gaya yaar
Don't Do It... better build a metro link train
😂😂😂😂
Even a mono rail line would have more carrying capacity
Pehle monorail or ab pod taxi
Matlab saare experiments mumbai me hi hone hai
Agar kaam kar gaya toh expand hoga nahi toh jo hai wahi rahega...
Kuch nahi hone se accha kuch kuch experiments hona theek hai
most useless mode of transport for india.
Chauvinism........
Slama ko hata na kis
bhi party me dam nahi 🙄🤔
Unko alternate land has to provide.
Most stupid project mumbai need rrts ans massive underground elevated metro network
@AdamSomething
European tram would be great
Pod taxi is nonsense
Allow work from Home now get 30% off in transportation, traffic. Hurry up
