NMMT launches bus services on Mumbai Trans Harbour Link

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport Undertaking (NMMT) announced that residents of Navi Mumbai would soon have access to public transport services across the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) to Mumbai.

NMMT manager Yogesh Kaduskar stated that they had planned at least four services, and two air-conditioned electric buses would ply through the bridge. He mentioned, "We have planned at least four services, and two air-conditioned electric buses will ply through the bridge."

Residents, who had eagerly awaited public transport across the Atal Setu bridge, which Prime Minister Modi inaugurated on January 12, expressed their enthusiasm. Sanpada resident Zulfikar Sheikh shared, "I was hoping for an NMMT service as I don't own a four-wheeler. I wanted to take my family to experience the travel across India's longest sea bridge."

For the maiden service, Bus number 115 is scheduled to transport commuters from Nerul to Mantralaya, covering the Kharkopar belt and Ulwe. An official from NMMT mentioned, "Bus no 115 is an air-conditioned service and has been plying from Kharkopar to Mantralaya. Still, in keeping with the residents' demand, the service will now start from Nerul and take the route via MTHL."

The administration stated that the civic body had decided to keep the existing fare of ?90 for the 52-km journey from Nerul to Mantralaya. Kaduskar emphasized, "There is no fare revision proposed. We will charge the fares presently applicable in every AC bus."

However, uncertainty remains regarding toll charges. Officials mentioned that it is unclear whether public transport services will have to pay the hefty toll meant for private buses or if they will receive a concession or waiver in the toll charges.
