The state government believes pod taxis could help strengthen Mumbai’s transport to provide better last-mile connectivity, especially in the busy Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area, where there is high footfall. On Monday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadavis chaired a review meeting on implementing this futuristic urban transport system as a modern solution for Mumbai’s mobility.

The CM opined that a pod taxi service will be important in the “business district” between Kurla and Bandra railway station. He even mentioned that bullet trains and the new Bombay High Court complex will increase traffic in the area and will likely add pressure on the existing transport system. “Pod taxis can provide citizens an easy and delay-free travel experience,” Fadnavis said.
