Mumbai get its first Metro service

Mumbai Metro rolls out, over 1 lakh commuters take maiden ride

Earlier, when the bids were invited, Mumbai Metro was under the Indian Tramways Act. But, later the Central government introduced the Metro Act, bringing the Metro under the new Act, which allows the operator to fix fares. With this service, the journey on the 11.4 km stretch will reduce to 20 minutes which otherwise takes around 90 minutes at present by road.
