Mumbai Metro Line 3 Offers 25% Discount for Differently-Abled Passengers
The Mumbai Metro Line 3, also called the Aqua Line, is a big train line in Mumbai that goes from Colaba to Aarey JVLR.
It's 33.5 kilometers long and has 27 stations, all underground except one.
The people who run the metro, called MMRCL, have started giving a 25% discount on train tickets for people with disabilities.
This discount is available on the MetroConnect-3 app for iPhone users, and soon for Android users too.
The metro fares range from Rs 10 to Rs 70.
This discount is to make sure that everyone, including people with disabilities, can use the metro easily.
However, some people who support the rights of people with disabilities are not happy because they say the discount is not being given properly and the metro is not very easy to use for people in wheelchairs.
Mumbai Metro Line 3 introduces a 25% fare concession for differently-abled passengers starting November 23, 2023.
The discount is available on the MetroConnect-3 app for iOS users, with Android approval pending.
The Aqua Line spans 33.5 kilometers, connecting Colaba in South Mumbai to Aarey JVLR in the western suburbs, with 27 stations, all underground except one.
Fares on Mumbai Metro Line 3 range from Rs 10 to Rs 70.
The initiative aims to promote inclusive mobility and accessibility for all commuters, but disability-rights groups criticize the delay in implementation and lack of accessibility.
