With the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), also known as the Sewri Nhava Sheva Trans Harbour Link, set to open soon, there is a growing demand to make this vital connector toll-free for public transport. Transport experts feel a flat rate of Rs 500 per vehicle should be charged for cars, but private public transport having more than 10 seats should be allowed for free.
This would discourage the use of private cars and make public transport a more sustainable option,” said Sudhir Badami, a transport expert and member of the toll rate committee of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority. The state government is yet to announce the toll rate for the road.
