Mumbai Metro One Introduces Short-Loop Trains to Increase Peak-Hour Frequency
Mumbai Metro One will reduce peak-hour train intervals on the busy Andheri-Ghatkopar section from 3 minutes 20 seconds to 3 minutes starting August 10. This change introduces short-loop trains running only between Andheri and Ghatkopar during evening peak hours, increasing weekday services from 476 to 484 and boosting carrying capacity by over 20%, benefiting about 85% of passengers on this stretch. However, train frequency between Versova and Azad Nagar will decrease during these times. The adjustment aims to optimize existing infrastructure without adding new trains.
