New CNG Station - Easy Drive Forum

himanshu · 20-09-06, 04:00 PM

Considering the increasing traffic movement on Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway number 8, the Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL) has commissioned a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway No. 8 near Dashrath on the outskirts Baroda. GAIL plans to set up two more CNG stations in Baroda this year. The city has about 30,000 autorickshaws and 80,000 four-wheelers. Very few use CNG. The CNG station at the S.R. Patel petrol pump in Nizampura can cater to 50 buses, 800 cars and 1500 three-wheelers everyday.

Whoever came out with the idea of having CNG filling stations inside Baroda city on busy streets (Nizampura, Nattubhai Circle, etc. to point out a few) is weird. Half of the road is blocked by the long waiting line of autorickshaws and cars, generally seen being driven into the wrong way, and parked in a way blocking the traffic flow. Strange, it happens only in India!

I got this opportunity to be in Baroda once again, and lo! I see a long queue of Autorickshaws waiting for CNG filling. Moreover, the closure of the right turn on the Wadi-wadi circle has lead to drivers taking the wrong side on the already congested road. Now, I do not have workds to say anything further...
