Public sentiment regarding the Aqua Line 3's operational issues reflects a mix of frustration about its immediate shortcomings and cautious optimism about its potential benefits. Commuters express discontent over poor signage, inadequate last-mile connectivity, and the high fare, while some acknowledge future improvements as additional lines come online.

Great start! Once the connecting lines open, this could really change daily travel for Mumbaikars.

Scrollchap_

That's crazy!
What is the designed ridership?

Friendly-Variety-830

Once line 2B is up and running it’s going to be a complete game changer for a lot of Mumbaikars. It’s a bit too late but it’s awesome that I don’t have to wait for cabs at airport anymore and go through all the traffic. Metros are the one bright spot in our city that’s mostly falling apart.

Ehh_littlecomment

This will go up way more on completion of Line 2B and 7A.

As an outsider, who visits Mumbai frequently, I had always wondered, how does a city like Mumbai not have a robust metro network.

Der aye, durust aye!!

Automatic_Bid5478

The good thing about this line is that the stations are huge and the trains are 8 coaches so it doesn't feel too crowded.

Tronald_Dump2020

Excellent!! Hope it stays like this ✌️

Sungkd

I just hope it reduces traffic on the road. It's a mfkin jungle out here.

Sykhow

Irrespective of all the comparisons with other metros this solves two critical issues -

1. Reduces the pressure on other infrastructure - even if it is 1 lakh people riding the subway 6 months from now that’s 1 lakh less people using the western line or just using cabs or driving. 

2. Improves quality of life - While the metro prices could be high the average salary of people in Mumbai is also higher. I know a lot of people who would spend that 4k a month so that they commute in an AC train and come home or to work refreshed rather than feeling like they fought a war. And if upper middle class/rich people move to this that’s again more space for other in the local trains and cabs.

How useful is it for people beyond Andheri like Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad.

Spirited_Ad_1032

But why it ends in the aarey. its middle of nowhere..

wangdubruh

Meanwhile Line 1 had 10lac ridership within 3 days.

₹70 is too much for people compared to Local, the ridership will increase only if the ticket prices go down.

Bright_Subject_8975

10 saal rok ke fir 1 Lakh passenger list dikha rahe hai.

So I am not from Mumbai. 

Were people protesting against a metro line ?

LoyalLittleOne

Congratulations Mumbai on becoming the 3rd largest metro network. Only Bangalore and Delhi are higher

BPC4792

These are all ser sapata crowd out to try the new shiny thing in public mobility.

While I too am hopefully lets not declare this a success just yet.

Aqua line 3 still doesn't have network access. And intermodal connectivity is still a BIG question mark.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Bhai Mtlb thode bkl ho Gaya. This metro is actually a boon for travellers who can actually afford to pay for a metro but were stuck using locals because of time constraints. 

I have been one of the most vocal critics in this sub for the alignment of the stations for this line but no doubt this metro will be absolutely crucial as we move forward. 10/10 times moving on I will always take the metro going to town now instead of local or cab.

And let the kids be kids.

kloppenheimer_1819

These children weren’t actually taking the metro 

I saw the same at cuff parade 

More of playing around at the metro station.

koji_the_furry

It's unfortunate that this video is being circulated with the wrong context. This video was shot at Cuff Parade, not at hutatma chowk and was showing these children taking joyrides on the escalators. The security was frustrated with them and turned off the escalators because of which the people had to walk up the the stairs. Children shouldn't be playing on the escalators, slight mishap can cause huge bodily harm to them.

Kindly stop sharing bullshit misinformation without knowing the context.

This is misinformation that progressive to prevent this metro. Most of the people opposed the carshed in Aarey not the metro line.

Travelling from the aqua line metro from last year, I would say great job done by BJP.

I saw them today when I was going to BKC. They all had phones too.

Upset-Commission-400

If you think the metro is bad just because you hate the BJP then please rethink your political ideology. Support the good work, criticise the bad work as simple as that.

So you so exploited that simple metro makes you happy. China inaugurated talest bridge and bragging about cost. While moving 10 million people for holidays. Without any engineer or political person pic on the bridge. We've got used to praise government servant doing their basic duties.

Imagine using kids as means to spread shit. Great job OP.

That’s one reason why the left and shivsena ubt will not come to power anytime soon

BJP may suck at a lot of things but they’re doing the big things right

Sadly Fadnavis has not been given enough credit for quick role out of metro lines in the state. I hope that changes.

They should connect the CSMT terminus to this via pedestrian bridge or something

Almost a year of operations and still Jio and Airtel doesnt work there

Such a shame

The first pic, that station entrance looks beautiful.

Impressive_Type_1421

Been using the metro since it's inauguration and it's insanely good. God bless and keep up the good work yall

KingJohn911

OP thank you for this post and all the previous bits you had shared with us before.


This also goes to show how much work actually goes into making a metro line operational that too an underground one which our city has never got before. Hopefully they are able to find ridership and a good response from the public because this one will  definitely be one of the most crucial lines of our city, in my opinion 

Kudos to MMRC and their team👏🏻👏🏻

Can u share more images and any specific theme design at CST station or other heritage stations and what is the expected traffic which u mentioned is expected by telecom providers

loan-cancer

Hey out of curiousity, how are you permitted to disclose this since isn't this something that's kinda confidential and they'd make you sign an NDA for it or smthng?

Cyanide_eXtasy595

Any update on Grant Road metro station from the inside? From the outside it looks almost complete.

Jacksucksdihs

Why isn't Marol connected from within? I remember going out on the road and then climbing back to the connected metro (Gatkopar-Versova). If there's another way, then the CRPF lady misdirected me.

Foreign_Yak157

Which line your team is working 3 or 2B, it's confusing your post title says 3 and post says 2b, 
And what about line 4, do you know any information,is the trials a gimmick or will actually open by dec-end, and i think both metros are built by mmrda,so you might know about that too,right ?

Agile_Profession5024

shitycommentdisliker

Hey, amazing work buddy! Just a question, are all stations going to be opening? I think there are some doubts regarding 2-3 stations

bigreputation18

So it's not operational till Cuffe Parade right now? Many people traveling claimed to have heard announcements that the route is operational

kneo

So this is what delaying the bmc election’s announcement? 😅

Absolute win. Can't wait for 2nd October.

The hutatma chown station looks nowhere ready... will it for sure be done by 2nd Oct?

I hope people don't spit paan throwing all red spots in and around the metro stations

geeta5389

Did it become operational from today onwards?

imgroot03

Why can’t government make it one card across different metro lines. Also wasn’t  this supposed to start in August

ChemistryNew3404

Do they have any plans to ensure that some phone networks are available to the general public?

Darkseid_1010

This might be small feedback that you can't do much about but can the digital interface showing stations in the trains be changed? It is very difficult to read the small font on the screen in aqua line, much easier in red/yellow line. 

Everything else looks great though and glad the line is nearing completion!

Slit_Slice_Slaughter

Aqua like has everything except mobile network.

SeparateNet9451

How seamless is the connection between getting down from a suburban train at CST and then taking the metro?

We have already seen how pathetic the T2 metro station is. Far away from the arrivals and no direct/dedicated exit to and from the airport. I guess only recently a direct connector was built in place.

WhiteDeath086

Aqua line will turn out to be an unfortunate name when the station starts filling up with water in the monsoon

Cornucopia2020

If all goes well when can we accept it to flood?/s

cole_loner

The best is yet to come. Line 2B will resolve the BKC travel issue from Bandra side forever. 

Line 6 will give rail connectivity to Powai.

Line 4 will give rail connectivity to Thane West.

Line 5 will give rail connectivity to Bhiwandi.

What is the total capacity of this metro line? Would the ridership still be considered strong if the metro line has the capability to handle 20-30 lakh passengers daily?

The inauguration of the Aqua Line 3 has faced commuter backlash due to operational issues, raising questions about urban transit infrastructure.
