They also expressed disappointment over frequent audio announcements, calling them “excessive and distracting.”

As expected, netizens had mixed reactions. One user wrote, “No comments on internet connectivity? What are people going to do for 30 minutes without internet?” Another wrote, “Mumbai Aqua Line (Metro Line 3) is a world-class project and the only one truly comparable to Delhi Airport Metro. It restores hope that high-quality transit systems are still possible in Mumbai.” One X user also suggested that the user should review Mumbai’s local trains next.
