The corridor between BKC and Aarey road has 10 Metro stations – BKC, Bandra Colony, Santacruz metro, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) T1, Sahar Road, CSMIA T2, Marol Naka, Andheri, SEEPZ, Aarey Colony JVLR.Of these, only Aarey JVLR station is at a grade while all others are underground.The aqua line is the fourth Metro corridor of Mumbai.The Ghatkopar-Andheri-Versova Metro Line-1, Andheri West-Dahisar Line-2A and Andheri East-Dahisar Line-7 are already operational in the city.Mumbai resident Ankush Nevre, who works at the Andheri MIDC, said the new service will be very helpful to reach BKC from there.”I was waiting for this connection for quite some time. I managed to get the first train to BKC at 11.10 am at the MIDC (Andheri). The service will be good (for the people), but there is a need for more signages and boards (for better access to Metro services),” Nevre said.A person claimed on his X account that an entry-exit point at CSMIA T1 was closed at around 1.30 pm.Jyoti Trilok, who works at the Sahar Cargo Complex, got down at CSMIA T2 and said the station needs to have more entry and exit points.Some passengers also expressed unhappiness over multiple apps for different Metro services in the city.They demanded a single app for accessing all the Metro services.”Should have an integrated app to book tickets and plan journeys. Mumbaikars can’t have 14 apps when all the lines are live. Integration and convenience should be there,” X user J Vidyasagar said in his post.
