Mumbai Metro 3: New Feeder Buses Enhance Connectivity and Affordability
For daily commuters in Mumbai, public transport has always been one of the most reliable ways to travel long distances compared to private vehicles. The city’s traffic is something every Mumbaikar is familiar with, and with new initiatives, authorities are trying to make daily commuting faster, easier, and more seamless. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has now teamed up with Cityflo to introduce a dedicated feeder bus service for commuters using the newly inaugurated Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line).
Feeder Bus Service For Mumbai Metro Line 3 Commuters
MMRC, in collaboration with Cityflo, has launched feeder bus services in Mumbai. This new service will improve first and last-mile connectivity as it links key metro stations to nearby business and residential hubs. The feeder buses will be available at three major stations of the Mumbai Metro 3 line – Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Worli, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), reported The Indian Express.
The BKC route will cover spots like NSE, Jio Garden, One BKC, and the Family Court. From Worli, it will connect to places like Century Mills, One Indiabulls Centre, Kamala Mills, and Peninsula Corporate Park. Meanwhile, at CSMT, the route connects to Old Custom House, Lions Gate, S.P. Mukherjee Chowk, K.C. College, and Churchgate Metro Station. It will provide easy travel to South Mumbai’s major landmarks.
