INFERENCE OF THIS STUDY

Vashi station is the first Multifunctional terminal to be built This station is G + 6 storey's with one storey
dedicated to shopping and railway station each. Four storeys of Offices are being proved to f fulfill the
commercial space requirement of this node.

In this station the space above the rail tracks has been achieved by covering the whole length of the
station .This has been done by casting a deck slab. As a result of which their is no natural light on the
railway station concourse .

As a result of which Artificial light is needed for all 24 hours, which is not a good idea. This problem could
have been solved by putting sky lights These skylights could be made as part of the shopping plaza

CONCLUSIONS
This is a new kind of station building introduced in the country, in this building railway station
and shopping complex are combined together to utilize the precious time of passenger which
was otherwise go waste if there is any delay in arrival/departure of train.

By doing so we can also treat two main problems of metro cities. one is the shortage of land
and other one is pollution.

We provide all required things a single building, there will be no need to go some where else.

One can easily come by train, get down, buy his stuff from the station building and can again
go by train to his desired destination.

In my opinion this will reduce the amount of traffic on road which ultimately reduce the
pollution and helps in keeping the city more fresh and better to live.
