26 Jun 2024 CW Team

Mumbai Metro has expanded its network significantly by adding 24 new services to Lines 2A and 7. This expansion aims to improve connectivity across key areas of the city, catering to the growing commuter demand. The additional services are expected to alleviate congestion during peak hours and provide more frequent and convenient travel options for passengers.

Lines 2A (Dahisar to D.N. Nagar) and 7 (Dahisar East to Andheri East) have seen a surge in popularity due to their strategic routes connecting crucial hubs in Mumbai. The new services will enhance accessibility to commercial and residential areas, benefiting thousands of daily commuters. This development aligns with Mumbai's efforts to bolster its public transport infrastructure and reduce dependency on road networks.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has overseen the implementation of these new services, aiming to streamline metro operations and improve passenger experience. With this expansion, commuters can expect reduced waiting times and increased train frequency during peak and non-peak hours alike.
