Mumbai: Mumbai residents won't have to worry as much about being delayed in traffic now that the underground metro's preparations are complete. Passengers will be able to travel by it in a few days. As a result, the city will move more quickly because using the underground will make traveling even simpler.

Mumbai Metro: Grand Opening

From July 24, passengers will be able to travel the Mumbai Underground Metro 3 route. One of the longest stations in the world and the largest in India would be the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) station, according to Suyash Trivedi, executive director of Metro Rail Corporation. At this station, numerous trains will arrive and depart.This station will function similarly to a junction as a result. With the use of specialized technologies, several tunnels have been constructed especially for this station. That two trains can travel through this tunnel at the same time is the most significant factor.
