Coming Soon: Mumbai Metro

It will be just another 30 months (read 2 and a half years :z) when we all can proudly proclaim we also have the metro like Delhi and Kolkatta. Mumbai Metro One Private Ltd has proclaimed its intentions.

Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems, i.e. smart cards will be used by passengers to use the rapid transport system.

What we will get is also display systems, announcement system, radio system, master clock and time synchronisation system with optic fibre-based backbone transmission network, system for transferring CCTV images from moving trains to the Operation and Control Centre and stations. Additionally there will be reduced vibration technology for the rails.

The metro will be along Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor.
