You have issues with Bullet trains because you think that Mumbai's Gujarati businessmen will use that services. You also have problems with profit making CR's trains for Uttar Pradesh because you think Mumbai's North Indians use those services!! Are you really from India or a parody account owner of any where else? Its ONE INDIA brother!! Think positive..
And your 33000 crore figure is also wrong, as I said its equally 5000 crores by each MH and GJ governments. Pls go thru this link - click here

* For Mum Ahm project to break even, daily 39000 pax (19500 pax each way) shall be required (with Rs 3500 fare), which only a small fraction of businessmen can afford. At such a high fare, bullet train shall be out of reach for small & medium size businessmen. Fare of Bullet train has to be within the reach of a significant fraction of general (non-business) traveller, else daily traffic shall to much lower than the break even level.
* Out of 5000 air pax per day between Mum-Ahm, Bullet train can attract 4000 per day, about 2000 ac rail travellers and another 2000 from private car/taxi/luxury buses totalling to about 9000. But it is possible only if its

fares are lesser than or comparable to airfares (not higher). May be at the time of commissioning of Bullet train, the traffic may increase to from 9000 to 12000-13000, but the figure of 39000 is far away.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
