Commuters will move from the Domestic Airport and Cuffe Parade in 45 minutes, with more than an hour less in comparison to road journeys. The line is completely below ground, thus evading traffic and meteorical interrupitions and improving dependability.

Mumbai Metro is an example of where infrastructure and diplomacy converge. Long-term Indian cooperation with Japan includes historic projects like the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and northeast projects.

MMRCL officials, with Managing Director Ashwini Bhide, visited major stations such as Kalbadevi, Girgaon, and Vidhan Bhavan to prepare them for operations. Trains will have Ladies Special coaches, priority seating, and CCTV surveillance to ensure more comfort and safety.
