The Rs 2,460-crore project, an initiative of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority, is a modern urban transport where cars move on a single beam in an elevated corridor.
Mumbai Monorail was to be built in two phases - Phase I of 8.93 km and Phase II of 11.20 km. The first phase ran operations for around three years before services were abruptly halted, owing to a fire incident last year. The second phase now stands completed, but is lying closed.
