Mumbai’s suburban commuters have reason to cheer as the first phase of Mumbai Metro Line 9, connecting Dahisar East to Kashigaon, is set to commence operations by the end of this year. This 4.5-kilometre stretch, featuring four stations, promises to significantly ease travel in the city’s northern suburbs.
