Will the thousands of office-goers in BKC finally be able to enjoy the convenience of taking a train to work? Mumbai's lifeline — the local train — could soon make its way to the city's business hub, with the state government pushing for a railway line connecting Bandra and Kurla.

The state has requested the Indian Railways to include the line in the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP), and a feasibility study is expected. There is no word on whether the line will include a station at BKC, although this will be of immense benefit to people working there. Currently, BKC commuters have to rely on buses or shell out on autorickshaws and cabs, as the closest railway stations are at Bandra and Kurla.
