Mumbai Metro One, marking a significant milestone, has completed 10 years of operations for its Versova-Ghatkopar line. The service, flagged off on June 8, 2014, by Reliance Infrastructure, has transformed urban commute in the city, famously dependent on local trains.

Achieving a remarkable 99% punctuality across 11 lakh trips, the Metro has served 970 million passengers. Commuters lauded the service for cutting travel time by half and easing the strain on overcrowded local trains, making it an eco-friendly option.

The 12-km, 12-station line, celebrated by Mumbaikars, now carries around 4.5 lakh commuters daily. Sales manager Prasad Keluskar noted the seamless commute it provides, hinting at greater convenience with future corridors.
