Mumbai (formerly Bombay, approx. 12 million inh., some 20 million in metropolitan area) Besides the busy suburban railways, which radiate from two termini in the city centre, Mumbai is developing a modern rapid transit system although at a pace much below that of Delhi. The first metro line eventually started service in spring 2014, a few months after the first section of a monorail line had been brought into service. |

Mumbai
currently has four rail corridors exclusive to the mass transit system
(with separate tracks) totalling 149 Km. Trains run from 4:00am to 1:00am
with a headway of 3 mins during peak hours and ranging from 5 to 10 mins
during the rest of the hours of operation (except late at night, when
headway is about 20-30 mins). Further, there are currently regular operations
with a headway between 10 and 30 mins on other lines not exclusively for
mass transit use (shared with long distance trains) totalling to 154 Km,
in addition to the 149 km system. Alongside much of the mass transit tracks,
the long distance tracks also carry 'fast' trains which do not stop at
all stations.
