I stay at Brahmand phase 5, we have bus no.55 DHARMACHA PADA coming up to our complex. We all residents feel very sad that our bus is cancelled as and when TMC feels comfortable. Since DHARMACHA PADA is just one step ahead of Azad Nagar, practically all the Azad Nagar buses can end at DHARMACHA PADA. Otherwise also we all are taking the bus from Azad Nagar. Hence I would suggest extending all the Azad Nagar buses up to DHARMACHA PADA. This will add not only the comforts to the residents but also earns more revenue for TMC without any considerable expenses. Hope my suggestion will be evaluated.
Route No.55 operating between Thane Railway Station and Azad Nagar is well established and well patronized.

However, your suggestion is noted and the same will be examined at the time of planning additional buses for the area.
