Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday launched the phase II of the Monorail in Mumbai. The monorail will start its operations covering the entire 19.54 km of its route which will benefit about one lakh commuters every day.
Earlier in the first phase of the Monorail, the distance covered was 8.26 km. However, the monorail service was shut down for around 10 months after a fire incident. The first phase of the monorail was started earlier in 2014.
The monorail services will be operated at a frequency of twenty-two minutes each and the ticket fare will be between Rs 10 to Rs 40.
The second phase will include stations such as Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk, Lower Parel, Mint Colony, Ambedkar Nagar, Naigaon, Dadar (East), Wadala, Acharya Atre Nagar, Antop Hill, and GTB Nagar.
Apart from the launch of Monorail’s Phase II, CM Fadnavis along with Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal also inaugurated Parel Terminus on March 3. The first local bound to Kalyan from Parel was flagged off by the Union minister and Maharashtra CM.
