Mumbai Monorail sees ridership of just 5,000 in a day

The Mumbai Monorail Phase-2 starting from Santh Ghadge Maharaj (SGM) Chowk to Wadala was commissioned on March 3, 2019 completing two years on Wednesday. However, the problem of poor ridership persists due to limited rakes and the prevailing pandemic situation. Currently, only 5,000 ridership is registered in a day, which is much less than the pre-Covid time period, which was between over 10,000-17,000 per day.

The entire 19.54 kilometers from SGM Chowk to Chembur is operational in a graded manner at a time gap of 30 minutes each. There are total six rakes in working condition, but three rakes are used rotationally. The monorail service is available from 6 am till 11:30 pm.
