Mumbai metro

The Mumbai Metro is a Metro system serving the city of Mumbai.

The system is designed to reduce traffic congestion in the city, and supplement
overcrowded Mumbai Suburban Railway network.
Its overall completion expected in 2021.
& it will be built in three phases over a 15-year period.
Line 1 :- Versova - Andheri - Ghatkopar
Line 2 :- Charkop Bandra Mankhurd
Line 3 :- Colaba - Bandra Seepz

the

HISTORY :The existing Mumbai Suburban Railway carries over 7 million

passengers per day , and is supplemented by the
Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) bus
system, which provides feeder services to station-going
passengers to allow them to complete their journeys.
& The main objective of the Mumbai Metro is to provide mass
rapid transit services to people within an approach distance of
between 1 and 2kilometres, and to serve the areas not
connected by the existing Suburban Rail network.

COST :The master plan of MUMBAI METRO unveiled by the MMRDA

in 2004 encompassed a total of 146.5 kilometres (91.0 miles)

of track, of which 32 kilometres (20 miles) would be
underground.

The Mumbai Metro was proposed to be built in three phases,

at an estimated cost of INR 19,525crore.
In 2010, the MMRDA revised the estimated cost of
constructing the nine lines to INR 36000crore (US $5.7
billion).

 In 2011, the MMRDA unveiled plans for an extended

Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro line. The 33.5-kilometre (20.8

mi) Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ line will be built at a cost of INR
21000 crore (US$3.3 billion), and will be the city's first
underground metro line. It will have 27 stations.

Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar built at an estimated cost of

INR4321 crore (US$680 million)

NETWORK :-

LINE 1 :Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro, also referred to as Metro I or the

Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) Metro.
The 11.40 km line is fully elevated, and consists of 12 stations
from Versova to
Ghatkopar.
The line connects the eastern and western suburbs of Mumbai.
And it is operated by the Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL).
The MMOPL is a joint venture company owned by Reliance
Infrastructure, Veolia Transport and the Mumbai Metropolitan
Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
Line 1 started operations on 8 June 2014.

CONSTRUCTION :The contract for the VersovaAndheriGhatkopar corridor was

awarded to the Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL).
The work order for the project was issued on 21 January
2008,and work began on 8 February 2008.
By October 2011, the 12 individual stations were 70%
completed.
On 6 February 2014, construction was completed.

OPENING :The first metro service was flagged off by Maharashtras

Chief Minister Prithivraj Chavan, along with Reliance

Chairman Anil Ambani and wife Tina Ambani, on 8 June at
10:10 am from Versova station.

STATIONS :There are 12 stations on Line 1.

All stations have three levels that are accessed via stairs,
escalators, and elevators.
Trains leave from the second floor, which is the Platform
level.
There are 100 staircases (minimum 4 in each station), 45
elevators and 95 escalators on the 12 stations of Line 1.

Ticketing and
fares :The minimum and maximum fares on the line are INR Rs. 10
and INR Rs. 40 respectively, roughly 1.5 times the current
unsubsidized BEST bus fare for a given distance.
Line 1 utilizes an Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC).
Riders can pay their fare using tokens or refillable smart
cards.
Smart cards can be recharged online.

Frequency :Services operate on Line 1 for 18.5 hours everyday (5:30AM

to midnight).
Headway on the line is 4 minutes during peak hours and 7
minutes during non-peak hours.
Station dwell time is 30 seconds.
Approximately, 200-250 services are operated daily on the
line.

Ridership :A metro train has four coaches and an overall capacity of

1500 passengers (375 per coach).

The seating capacity of every coach alternates between 48
and 52, of which 4 seats in each coach are reserved for senior
citizens and handicapped commuters.
According to the MMOPL, Line 1 has transported 18.5 million
passengers as on 10 August 2014, with an average daily
ridership of 300,000 - 500,000.

Speed :The RDSO had initially permitted a maximum speed of only

50 km/hr.
Trains on the line operates at slower speeds is because
stations are only 800 meters to 1 km, which prevents trains
from picking up speed.
Trains operate at an average speed of 35 km/hr, and cover
the 11.40 km distance in 21 minutes.

Line 2
The second corridor that was planned to be built in the first

phase was the 32 km Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd route, which

was planned to have 27 stations.
Construction was planned to begin in August 2010 and be
completed by mid-2013.
However, construction work had yet to begin by December
2012, leading to calls for Line 2 to be cancelled outright.

Power :Unlike 97% of metro corridors worldwide which run on direct

current (DC), the Mumbai Metro runs on alternating current

(AC) which is more labour and cost intensive.
Line 3 were reportedly in favour of the DC model, since more
digging is required for the rail to work on AC.

Signalling and
communications :-

The Mumbai Metro will feature an advanced signalling

system, including an automatic train protection system

(ATPS).
Siemens will supply the signalling systems required for the
project, while Thales Group will supply the Metro's
communication systems.
The network's signalling and train control systems will be
based on LZB 700M technology.
