About The Mumbai Metro
In Mumbai, the financial capital of India, the existing suburban rail system was under extreme pressure; more than 11 million people travel by public transport daily. Due to the practical constraints in expanding the existing road and rail networks many pockets in the suburbs and the Island city could not be connected by rail based transport system. With the aim of improving traffic and transportation scenario in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority in conjunction with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) prepared the Master Plan for Mumbai Metro. Priority was given to the areas that were not connected by existing Suburban Rail System. Metro would provide interchange facilities for connecting neighbouring areas like Thane, Navi Mumbai, Vasai, Virar etc.
The long wait of the commuters of Mumbai for the much-needed relief came to an end with the launch of metro line in the city. The Mumbai metro service was launched in the city on 8 June 2014, around 10:10 in the morning. It was flagged off by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan at the Versova station. The chief minister took a ride from Versova to Ghatkopar (Line 1) in the metro. Also, the ADAG Chairman Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani were present at the inauguration. The line became functional for the common public at 1 p.m.
Mumbai Trans Harbour Metro Link (MTHL) corridor has been planned by MMRDA from Prabhadevi to Sewri moving further to the Mainland through Navi Mumbai on the Panvel-Pen section. This link will accelerate development on the mainland and also facilitate decongestion on other transport systems.
Metro system is much preferred in any city for its high-capacity and attractive features. Metro trains move fast and are environment-friendly; they also offer excellent financial viability.
However, if considered from the point of view of Mumbai, the metro system is/ was much needed for following reasons:

Why Metro Rail in Mumbai is needed?
Metro system is much preferred in any city for its high-capacity and attractive features. Metro trains move fast and are environment-friendly; they also offer excellent financial viability.
However, if considered from the point of view of Mumbai, the metro system is/ was much needed for following reasons:
- Several pockets in the city and its suburban areas are not connected by rail-based mass transit system
- For the protection of environment
- Limitations that are faced in the expansion of road network
- Present rail and road scenario not apt for future travel needs
- The role of bus system is limited in the area of offering feeder services to railways
- Bus network alone cannot match the future travel demands.
