Mumbai will move at much faster pace now with metro, time to switch from local train to Metro for Mumbaikar's. Mumbai Metro has taken up nearly 76 months, even as the cost of the project increased from Rs 2356 crore to Rs 4321 crore. It is executed at very low pace and people of Mumbai had to wait very long to get the their first ride. As Mumbai's a city that forgives all, and from today will finally get a chance to travel in a modern mass transit system that's comparable to international ones, so what if it's only 11.4 kms in length, with 12 stations.
About 2.4 lakh commuters traveled on the first day of the Mumbai metro's operations. Travel time from Versova to Ghatkopar and vice versa will be 21 minutes, with an average speed of 33 kmph, a maximum speed of 80 kmph, even as the system is designed for 90 kmph. A road trip from Versova to Ghatkopar can take around 90 minutes, so 21 minutes is very welcome by Mumbai standards.
