Mumbai Metro 1 carries 4 lakh passengers everyday & reduce their travel time from 70 mnts to 17 mnts. Had these passengers travlled by road, what would hv happened? Only 1 Metro line cannot suffice the public transport need of the city. #AareyAikaNa
Mumbai city desperately needs enhancement of its rail based public transport network. Suburban railways carry 80 lakh passengers per day. Once Metro network is commissioned it would carry about 45 lakh people by 2031 and 1 cr people by 2041 as per MMRDA CTS.#AareyAikaNa
