This line traverses some of the most bustling areas in South and Central Mumbai, marking a significant stride towards sustainable public transport.

To enhance the commuter experience, several practical improvements can be implemented.

Mumbai is renowned as a city that never sleeps, yet its public transport options are limited after midnight. Introducing a 24-hour metro service with trains operating every 30 minutes from 1 AM to 5 AM would greatly benefit night-shift workers, late-night travellers, and emergency commuters.

This initiative would ensure the metro remains a dependable travel option at all hours, aligning with Mumbai's vibrant lifestyle.

To make travel more affordable, offering a 10 per cent discount on fares paid via NCMC or Mumbai One cards could be beneficial.

Additionally, discounted trip passes for regular commuters, students, and office-goers would encourage daily metro usage.

These measures could boost ridership and foster loyalty among passengers.
