Timings and Frequency
Previously departing at 6:30 am, the first train on the operational parts (from Aarey JVLR and Acharya Atre Chowk) now leaves at 5:55 am. The last service is scheduled at 10:30 am.
The train frequency and headways for the already-operated section are approximately every 6-7 minutes during peak and non-peak hours; the final stretch will probably follow similar norms. The operational section (Aarey to Acharya Atre Chowk) is currently fully operational and spans 22.46 km.
Fare and Travel Time
Depending on distance, fares for the parts that are now in operation range from ₹10 to ₹50. The end-to-end fare (from Aarey to Cuffe Parade) is expected to be in the upper range (about ₹50) for the entire trip once the full queue opens.
With the current service, the 22-kilometre journey from Aarey to Acharya Atre Chowk takes roughly 36 minutes. It is expected that the entire trip will take less than an hour, with the final phase adding more stations and lengthening the route.
