Mumbai Metro One completes four years of service
Mumbai, June 8 (IBNS): Reliance Infrastructure promoted Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL), the lifeline between Mumbai’s Western and Eastern suburbs, on Friday completed four successful years of travel for over 400 million passengers.
To mark the completion of the coveted landmark in Mumbai’s transportation history, state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched several initiatives at Versova Metro Station.
Fadnavis inaugurated the “Majhi Metro Art” train of award-winning paintings, poems and photographs at the festival held earlier in the year.
The Chief Minister launched the mobile metro ticketing product “Skiiip Q” where Metro commuters need no longer stand in queues for a ticket which can be generated by a QR code on the mobile phone.
He also released a Coffee Table book showcasing the four year journey of Mumbai Metro on the occasion.
Congratulating Mumbai Metro One on the occasion, Fadnavis said: “Mumbai Metro One has changed the face of mobility in the Mumbai city. With the use of Metro, you don’t need a secondary transport system as it takes you closer to your destination."
"Mumbai Metro One has completely changed the space of Mass Rapid Transport in Mumbai and is the pioneer of the metro movement. The system planning and execution of Mumbai Metro One will help in shaping up upcoming Metro projects in the city,” said he.
“The Mumbai Metro is very efficient, clean, fast and green. In Mumbai suburban trains, the distance between two stations is usually two to three kilometers but in the metro, the distance between two stations is just a kilometer. The metro has helped in bringing down pollution, which is equal to planting 3 crore trees," the Chief Minister added.
“The last four years have been very exciting and we are happy to make the commuter experience seamless and comfortable. Over the years, we have involved our commuters across various areas be it art and culture, technology or with various offerings which have helped in increase the ridership. We have also laid emphasis of commuter safety with series of stringent measures. We hope to continue adding more value to our esteemed commuters’ lives," Mumbai Metro spokesperson said.
