Mumbai Metro Lines: Know The New Routes And Charges

Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray inaugurated the two lines, 2A and 7 of the Mumbai Metro on April 2, 2022. The financial capital had got its first east-west Mumbai Metro Corridor One about 8 years ago in 2014. Lines 2A and 7 will connect the western suburbs of Andheri and Dahisar. MMRDA commissioner SVR Srinivas said the trains on the elevated corridors have been designed for driverless operation, along with communication-based train control systems. Nevertheless, the train will initially only be manned by operators or attendants, with a few female pilots.
