With the timings of metro routes 2A and 7 in Mumbai extended, there will be 257 services on the metro corridor.

On Thursday, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) announced that starting on November 11, the last service on metro rail lines 2A and 7 will be at 11 p.m., rather than the current 10:30 p.m.

According to the planning authorities, 253 services are now run on Metro lines 2A and 7 between Gundavli and Andheri West on weekdays from 5:55 am to 10:30 pm, with an interval of 7.5 to 10.5 minutes.

“There will be 257 services available on the metro corridor as a result of the increased metro schedules. Two more metro trips each would be run after 10 p.m. between Dahanukarwadi and Andheri West and between Dahisar West and Gundavli, according to the statement.

“It has been agreed to permanently prolong this time, while there was a demand to extend the timings on this road during Diwali. Mumbai Metro is a secure and sustainable public transportation system, according to MMRDA chairman and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
