Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7 clock 200 million rides in 39 months
Mumbai: Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7 recorded more than 200 million passenger journeys since their launch in April 2022, according to data shared by Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The milestone was reached in just over three years of operations, with current daily ridership averaging over three lakh. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said the numbers reflected a shift in how Mumbai commutes. "The 200 million ridership milestone proves that the people of Mumbai have embraced the Metro as their trusted companion," he said. The two elevated corridors—Line 2A from Dahisar (West) to Andheri (West), and Line 7 from Dahisar (East) to Gundavali—were introduced to ease congestion on the city's western arterial roads and rail networks. Officials say steady improvements in service frequency, punctuality, and integration have contributed to the increase in ridership. Deputy chief Mminister Eknath Shinde said, "This isn't just a mobility achievement—it's a quality-of-life transformation. With every Metro ride, we move closer to our vision of a connected Mumbai, where no citizen is left behind." Rubal Agarwal, managing director, MMMOCL, said, "Our operational teams work round the clock to ensure safety, cleanliness, and efficiency. We're now focusing on the next frontier—enhancing service frequency, onboarding digital ticketing tools, and ensuring last-mile connectivity." Metropolitan commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee called the 200 million mark a strong validation of the agency's efforts. "A consistent monthly growth of 4–5% in ridership reflects how Mumbaikars are steadily opting for smarter travel choices. This is not just a number.

MMRDA officials said the ridership trend on these lines will help guide future planning, with several upcoming corridors expected to transform east-west and north-south connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Key milestones on the lines were reached on April 2, 2022, when the lines recorded 19,451 passengers on a single day; on Jan 27, 2023, when total journeys hit one crore (10 million); on May 28, 2024, when the 10 crore (100 million) mark was reached; on Jan 4, 2025, the number reached 15 crore (150 million), on July 8, 2025, a record three-lakh-plus passengers travelled on the lines in a single day; in Aug 2025, the network crossed 200 million total journeys.
