Singapore MRT thread sparks metro debate in Odisha

Original: A thread on Singapore MRT and how they built it despite experts (exfarts !) from Harvard saying don't build as buses are

A widely shared thread recounts how Singapore built its MRT rail system despite foreign experts arguing buses would be enough, drawing a parallel to current controversy in Odisha, where the Bhubaneswar metro project has been cancelled. Commenters are using Singapore's example to criticise local leaders, including Mohan Majhi and Prithiviraj Harichandan, and to argue the city still needs a metro.

Why now: The Bhubaneswar metro cancellation has reignited debate over whether Indian cities should follow Singapore's transit investment example.

• A thread on Singapore MRT and how they built it despite experts (exfarts !) from Harvard saying don't build as buses are enough. Similar to debates today in Odisha where the morons @MohanMOdisha and nepo kid @PrithivirajBJP have cancelled BBSR metro. @AprajitaSarangi (1/n) · guptanumis · 1
