      No idea about the other bridge. Will need to check.

      Still waiting for BMRCL to release the launch date. Industry friends don’t have a rough timeframe either.

      Hey, that sounds nice but I don’t know if I’d be able to dedicate time towards it. My goal right now is to focus on the site and be consistent and timely 🙂

      Aren’t those two different lines?

      • TMRG says:

        Yup. Although Vanaz and Hinjawadi are on the city’s west-side, I haven’t seen any plan to connect both places.
