Wonder why they've called it a Freeway. We in India tend to use non-standard terms like Expressway, Express highway and now Freeway!

LOL true that. In the case of Bombay city, signal-free corridors on the eastern and western coasts have always been referred to in the press/MMRDA/MSRDC as 'freeway'. The Bandra-Worli sea link for example is part of the (proposed) Western Freeway system.

I couldn't agree with you more about standardising widely used confusing terminology. Australian/American west coast and British terms like 'freeway' and 'motorway' (resp) should be done away with completely. I don't know about you guys, but I think the term 'expressway' is best suited for our country.

Australia(NSW) has a system where all the access controlled highways are called motorways, but once they become toll free, they are called "Freeways".

Everyone seems to be confused.

Haha and then the Americans add to the confusion by using terms like 'Parkway' and 'Interstate'

Set to become the replacement to the "tuk-tuk":

Indian government approves Bajaj RE60 for use as a city commercial vehicle - Indian Cars Bikes : Indian Cars Bikes

Great news IMO- those three-wheelers are unsafe and unsightly.

Our terminal is shaping up quite spectacularly!

I am certain that T2 will win many a design award.

Mumbai Airport

I have a feeling that Mumbai airport is going to break all records in the Aviation industry. Not only it will defeat the best airports like Changi etc will generate more revenues and more passenger traffic. Its going to be a marvel for India. It will win more design awards than any other airport. The best in class or maybe setting a class of itself. Atleast looks like that right now.
