A welcome move by government. [clap]

Re: Maharashtra : Toll tax lifted from 12 toll plazas

RK, thanks for informing. Is the toll plaza still existing at Dahisar? I always have to pay when commuting from Mumbai to Thane.

Regards

You have to wait till July end because a newly setup committee is analyzing whether waiver can be given for LMV and ST buses to Mumbai entry points like Vashi, Airoli, Mulund, Bhandup, Dahisar and Mumbai-Pune Expressway along with the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

Re: Maharashtra : Toll tax lifted from 12 toll plazas

Toll plaza at Wadkhal was shear atrocious.

Anyways after closing down the Toll, it is intresting to know how the state government maintains these roads?
Rather than closing all the tolls, it is apt to install them as per rule, two plazas separated by atleast 80 km.
Also

Urse toll plaza should be ideally located at the beginning of the Eway near Ravet so as to avoid wastage of time & fuel midway.

Also, rather than giving full concession from toll, the rates should be made amicably affordable. Eg, for a car Mumbai Pune two way is 400Rs, this should be brought down to Rs 100.

There should be a "petrol head" elected as a minister who should be given entire road, automotive and transport responsibility. He can at least plan things in much better way [:D]
