Mumbai monorail rakes in Rs 2 lakh on Day-2

For the second consecutive day on Monday, Mumbaikars thronged monorail stations to take a ride on the 8.93 km Wadala-Chembur route.

About 19,600 passengers travelled in 64 trips between 7 am and 3.15 pm on the Wadala-Chembur route. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) collected over Rs 2 lakh as monorail fare.

The monorail was thrown open to the public on Sunday and it was a great hit as over 20,000 passengers managed to take maiden rides in 61 trips.

“All efforts are being made at monorail stations to avoid inconvenience to passengers. Maharashtra Security Force personnel have been deployed at all the stations,” an official told Business Standard.

The official informed that those who could not make it on Monday had expressed a desire to try their luck again.
