The 'Metro 1' line, known as the first metro line in Mumbai, entered into traffic service in 2014. Initially, this metro line was not getting the response it should have been. Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL), which owns, maintains and operates this line, has made various efforts to increase passenger demand. Many facilities have been developed. 'Dahisar - Andheri West Metro 2A' and 'Dahisar - Gundavali Metro 7' lines entered service. These lines are connected with 'Metro 1'. As a result of all this, the number of passengers started increasing in the last few months. That is why the number of daily passengers on the 'Metro 1' route has reached 4.5 lakh to 5.5 lakh.
