These measures are of great importance in a city, where nine people die in the suburban network, and the average commute is among the longest in the world. MTHL is expected to cut down the commute from South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai from 41 minute to 26 minutes and the coastal road is expected to reduce the commute time from Cuff Parade to Kandivli by 90 minutes. Plans of building the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and a coastal road recently received environmental and coastal zone regulatory clearances. But, as Mumbai's population saw remarkable growth year after year, these regulations have forced the city's residents to squeeze into the existing space. Building height restrictions were also imposed to preserve a better environment, and to make constructions homogeneously tall. Another explanation is that the height of buildings in Mumbai was restricted to avoid the greater investment in infrastructure higher densities would necessitate. By putting such restrictions in place, authorities wanted to curb low-income migrants from moving to the centre of the city. In much of the central Mumbai, the area of the floor space constructed on a certain plot should not be greater than 1.33 times the size of the plot.
