A year after the Himalaya Bridge at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) was opened for public use, the BMC is still struggling to complete the work on the escalator for the bridge. Once ready, commuters would have to climb at least 12 steps to access the escalator of the new foot overbridge (FOB). The bridge collapsed on March 14, 2019, exactly five years ago.

The escalators are installed at a height to avoid damage due to water logging or to avoid being hit by vehicles or damaged by other material. The height though is mostly two to three feet with five to six stairs. However, at CST, the gap between the escalator and the road is more than 7 feet and the corporation constructed 12 steps leading to it. The height may be reduced though.
