Mumbai metro

The Mumbai Metro is a Metro system serving the city of Mumbai.

The system is designed to reduce traffic congestion in the city, and supplement the overcrowded Mumbai Suburban
Railway network.
It’s overall completion expected in 2021.
& it will be built in three phases over a 15-year period.

Line 1 :- Versova - Andheri - Ghatkopar

Line 2 :- Charkop – Bandra – Mankhurd
Line 3 :- Colaba - Bandra – Seepz
HISTORY :-
The existing Mumbai Suburban Railway carries over 7 million passengers per
day , and is supplemented by the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport
(BEST) bus system, which provides feeder services to station-going
passengers to allow them to complete their journeys.
& The main objective of the Mumbai Metro is to provide mass rapid transit
services to people within an approach distance of between 1 and 2 kilometres,
and to serve the areas not connected by the existing Suburban Rail network.
COST :-
The master plan of MUMBAI METRO unveiled by the MMRDA in 2004
encompassed a total of 146.5 kilometres (91.0 miles) of track, of which 32
kilometres (20 miles) would be underground.
The Mumbai Metro was proposed to be built in three phases, at an
estimated cost of INR “19,525”crore.
In 2010, the MMRDA revised the estimated cost of constructing the nine
lines to INR “36000”crore (US $5.7 billion).
 In 2011, the MMRDA unveiled plans for an extended Colaba-Bandra-
SEEPZ metro line. The 33.5-kilometre (20.8 mi) Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ line
will be built at a cost of INR ‘‘21000’’ crore (US$3.3 billion), and will be the
city's first underground metro line. It will have 27 stations.

Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar built at an estimated cost of INR4321 crore

(US$680 million)
NETWORK :-
 LINE 1 :-
Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro, also referred to as Metro I or the
Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) Metro.
The 11.40 km line is fully elevated, and consists of 12 stations from Versova to
Ghatkopar.
The line connects the eastern and western suburbs of Mumbai. And it is
operated by the Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL).
The MMOPL is a joint venture company owned by Reliance Infrastructure,
Veolia Transport and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development
Authority (MMRDA).
Line 1 started operations on 8 June 2014.
 CONSTRUCTION :-
The contract for the Versova–Andheri–Ghatkopar corridor was awarded to
the Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL).
The work order for the project was issued on 21 January 2008, and work
began on 8 February 2008.
By October 2011, the 12 individual stations were 70% completed.
On 6 February 2014, construction was completed.
 OPENING :-

The first metro service was flagged off by Maharashtra’s Chief Minister
Prithivraj Chavan, along with Reliance Chairman Anil Ambani and wife Tina
Ambani, on 8 June at 10:10 am from Versova station.
 STATIONS :-
There are 12 stations on Line 1.
All stations have three levels that are accessed via stairs, escalators, and
elevators.
Trains leave from the second floor, which is the Platform level.
There are 100 staircases (minimum 4 in each station), 45 elevators and 95
escalators on the 12 stations of Line 1.
 Ticketing and fares :-
The minimum and maximum fares on the line are INR Rs. 10 and INR Rs. 40
respectively, roughly 1.5 times the current unsubsidized BEST bus fare for a
given distance.
 Line 1 utilizes an Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC).
Riders can pay their fare using tokens or refillable smart cards.
Smart cards can be recharged online.
 Frequency :-
Services operate on Line 1 for 18.5 hours everyday (5:30AM to midnight).
Headway on the line is 4 minutes during peak hours and 7 minutes during
non-peak hours.
Station dwell time is 30 seconds.
Approximately, 200-250 services are operated daily on the line.
 Ridership :-
A metro train has four coaches and an overall capacity of 1500 passengers
(375 per coach).
The seating capacity of every coach alternates between 48 and 52, of which
4 seats in each coach are reserved for senior citizens and handicapped
commuters.
According to the MMOPL, Line 1 has transported 18.5 million passengers as
on 10 August 2014, with an average daily ridership of 300,000 - 500,000.
 Speed :-
The RDSO had initially permitted a maximum speed of only 50 km/hr.
Trains on the line operates at slower speeds is because stations are only 800
meters to 1 km, which prevents trains from picking up speed.
Trains operate at an average speed of 35 km/hr, and cover the 11.40 km
distance in 21 minutes.
 Line 2
The second corridor that was planned to be built in the first phase was the
32 km Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd route, which was planned to have 27
stations.
Construction was planned to begin in August 2010 and be completed by
mid-2013.
However, construction work had yet to begin by December 2012, leading to
calls for Line 2 to be cancelled outright.

 Power :-
Unlike 97% of metro corridors worldwide which run on direct current (DC),
the Mumbai Metro runs on alternating current (AC) which is more labour
and cost intensive.
Line 3 were reportedly in favour of the DC model, since more digging is
required for the rail to work on AC.
 Signalling and
communications :-
The Mumbai Metro will feature an advanced signalling system, including an
automatic train protection system (ATPS).
Siemens will supply the signalling systems required for the project, while
Thales Group will supply the Metro's communication systems.
The network's signalling and train control systems will be based on LZB
700M technology.
