Connector will come as blow to auto mafia; commuters welcome the vital project

The current path to Bandra Terminus
To create an approach to the inaccessible Bandra Terminus, Western Railway (WR) built a 314-metre-long skywalk connecting it to Khar suburban station last year. Now, Bandra station and the terminus will be similarly linked. The move will allow hassled passengers to reach the terminus without having to step out of the Bandra station premises, thus avoiding the auto mafia, which lurks outside it.
The skywalk at Bandra station will possibly be the longest one on the line, at around 340 metres. It will link the foot overbridge at the north end of the station to the foot overbridge at the south end of the terminus.The project cost is about Rs 24.62 crore. Commuters have been demanding a connector between the terminus and the station for a while as it is daunting for commuters to reach the latter spot on foot via road.
