It Is Connecting With All The FOBs
The longest skywalk in the city made the traveling journey much easier. Now the passengers can directly get down at the Khar station and walk to the Bandra terminus. The skywalk will connect with the foot over bridges and it will make travelling easier and safer for the passengers. The scenario was different before. Passengers travelling by suburban trains had to get down at Khar or Bandra station and then walk to the Bandra Terminus.
A 314 m long & 4.4 m wide skywalk connecting Bandra Terminus to Khar station has been opened for the convenience of passengers.
It will enable passengers to reach Bandra (T) directly by deboarding at Khar station & taking south FOB.
It is connected with all platforms of BDTS. pic.twitter.com/enZR2L5jDY
