Dr Dixit spoke at length about the importance of Multi-Modal integration and feeder service, which will help Metro in easing traffic congestion on city roads.
He also informed students about how Transit Oriented Development around Metro corridor would help more properties to come up in the corridor’s proximity. This in turn would help the people in using the Metro service to commute daily.
