MMRDA: Mumbai Mahanagar Region Devlopment Authority MRTS


Greater Mumbai, the financial capital of India is the heart of commercial and trade activities of the country. Mumbai has always had the distinction and advantage of a high modal share (88%) in favor of a public mass transport system. The role of existing Suburban Rail Services is extremely important in the life of people of Greater Mumbai. The system carries about 6 million passengers every day. The BEST provides feeder services to the many station going passengers, to complete their journey. Due to the city’s geographical constraint, the road and rail infrastructure development could not keep the pace with the growing demand for last 4-5 decades.


Present traffic scenario
  • 11 million people travel daily by Public Transport. (Rail- 48% , Bus- 44% & Private Vehicles - 8% ).


  • Inadequate road network is slowing down the traffic causing chronic road congestion & Environmental pollution.


  • Suburban rail traffic increased by 6 times while the capacity increased by only 2.3 times.


  • 4500 passengers travel per train against the carrying capacity of 1750 resulting an unbearable overcrowding.


  • Vehicular growth Increased from 61,000 to over 1.02 Million in the last four decades.
