Kolkata Trams: Post 3 Connecting The Heart Of Saltlake City To Kolkata Metro Network... Detailed Project Report...

Building more to Karunamoyee Via Broadway Road is a very Popular Route for entry and exit from Staltlake city. Building More is a very important entry point Of Saltlake, as it connects The township with bypass as well as Beliaghata Main Road. The route Contains many important Stoppages including Popular Hospitals, Public places, Residential areas and Office areas. Building more is itself a important transit point and after the completion of Kolkata metro Line 6 Chingrighata more will also be a Transit Point For passengers of this route. The Buses which ply through this route are insufficient in Number and are always overcrowded, so the passengers are forced to rely on Auto rickshaws for their commute, making life difficult. We here In MetroRailBlog Propose a tram Route Linking These Spots.

Features:  

The Route will be Elevated From Chingrighata Metro to Building More. After Building More the route will take Broadway Road Which for most of its length has two lane service roads on each side. And the part that doesn’t contain service road has empty space on sides, making it possible to build dedicated tracks on both sides of road free from road traffic.

Route:

The Route Will Connect Busy Transit Point Of Kolkata Metro and EM Bypass to The heart Of Saltlake. Ridership Is expected to be high and Suitable for tram, as this route is very busy throughout the day.

Stations:

The Route will have stations at 

1. Chingrighata Metro
2. Buildind More
3. SAI
4. AMRI
5. IA Block/ Columbia Asia
6. Carnival Cinema
7. GD Island Interchange
8. FD Island
9. FE Block
10. Korunamoyee                                 

On ground stations will be Very much similar to AC bus shelters in Kolkata but a little Longer to accommodate two carriages. 

Depot:

No New Depot Will be required as the line will have a link (ramp link) with the Ultodanga sec V line at GD island, which will give the line access to Ultodanga Depot.

The Cost Of Building This Line will be very low Because building of viaducts are needed for a very short stretch. For the rest of the route Dedicated tracks can be easily Built .

We Hope that This line will benefit thousands of people for their daily commute and felicitate the passenger traffic channeling from the metro stations to the interiors of Saltlake city....
