Luz could be a rail hub if Metro rail proposals see light of day

If proposals made by a railway study authority for the next phases of Metro Rail for the city are accepted by the centre and the state, then Luz will be a hub for the Metro rail lines.

One route proposed for the city starts at CMBT and ends at the Light House in San Thome. Luz is featured on this route.

The other route proposed is from Madhavaram and runs down the ECR and connects with a route proposed to cover the OMR. This route also runs through Luz.

Both routes will enable commuters to access the Metro section from CMBT to the airport.

The proposed lines will have to be built underground, says the study.
