“Soon, the residents of Kalyan-Dombivli will be able to reach their homes directly by taking pod taxis after alighting from trains, buses,” Shinde said.

The announcement has drawn criticism from opposition leaders, who argue that authorities should first address pressing transport issues such as overcrowded and delayed local train services and the lack of an effective public transport system. They alleged that new infrastructure announcements are being prioritised over long-pending civic concerns.
