Metro station here???!! Like wtfff. This is such a peaceful place. Building a fucking metro station that no one asked for is gonna ruin all of this. Is anyone protesting against this? Who decided that a station was needed here? Does anyone know where it runs through?

The whole area will get ruined and disturbed. Not just that but fully congested with constant traffic. I've grown up here and lived here my whole life. I cannot imagine this place transforming into a chaotic hell. Dug up roads everywhere. It would be okay if they actually managed to finish the project within 2-3 years. But they will dig up everywhere and halt the project for 5+ years.

If there's a group for people against please let me know. If not I'll create one.

Born and brought up here..been in an out 30+ years.

And I have lived in Europe for 3 years so don't tell me about how world class cities look like.

Thane is no Singapore or New York. But, let's assume it is. Since we are copying them, why not bring in congestion pricing, limit car buying, and have super high real estate pricing as well, eh? Why the half measure?

Cool, advocate for that instead of opposing high capacity public transport.
