The city’s much-awaited Metro Line-3 (Aqua Line) is now fully operational, marking a historic milestone in Mumbai’s transport evolution — a 33.5-km underground corridor connecting Cuffe Parade in South Mumbai to Aarey in the western suburbs.
With 27 stations (26 underground and one at-grade), the project promises to transform the city’s commute by cutting travel time between the island city and suburbs to just one hour.
