FREQUENCY TO WIFI

The 9.77-km BKC-Worli Metro-3 will operate eight trains on the section with line runs at a frequency of every 6 minutes and 20 seconds.

First Metro runs from Aarey JVLR at 6.30 am. Last from Acharya Atre Chowk is at 10.30 pm.

In a major relief for commuters, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has announced free Wi-Fi at the concourse level of all operational Aqua Line stations. This move comes in response to persistent mobile network blackouts inside stations and trains, which had disrupted mobile-based services including digital ticketing, UPI payments, and communication.
