There should be provision for multi-modal transport with unified ticket or smart cards for bus, rail and ITS. There should be a dedicated cell or unified authority for coordinating the same.

Provide smart bus shelters in all bus stops, both in old and extended corporation areas. The corporation is developing 50 hi-tech bus stops with private collaboration. There should be 10 a/c bus shelters in major locations and other smart bus stops with ATMs in other areas of the city. In extended and outlying areas, fix and assemble type bus shelters can be provided. The bus shelters can have roof top solar panels so that they can be self-sufficient in power requirements.

I am thinking about buying a flat in New Town and now I am all the more excited about it. I hope it becomes a Smart City sooner.

I think New Town should also become a Green City along with a Smart City. More trees should be planted and it will no more look like a concrete jungle. Planting trees is really important for living a healthy life.

I think if women protection and safety, waste management and transportation is taken care of, New Town will be the best place to be in Kolkata.
