Currently, the route for monorail in Mumbai is Wadala-Chembur and Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk-Wadala. However, the frequency of the trains is less and commuters have to wait for around 20-25 minutes for the next train to arrive. Therefore, to ease commute for the passengers, MMRDA has proposed to introduce 10 rakes for this route. This, in turn, will increase the frequency of the train. Due to the ongoing elections, the tender can only be passed after May 23.
Notably, MMRDA had decided to install solar panel roofs at monorail stations to reduce the rising electricity bills and is also set to launch a QR-based ticket system
