Mumbai Metro Pillars Color-Coded to Aid Commuters
Imagine the Mumbai Metro pillars as a colorful guide!
The MMRDA is painting over 2,500 of them with colors that match each train line.
If you see a red pillar, you know it's the Red Line!
This helps people find their way around easily and makes the city look neater.
The project covers several lines.
The MMRDA hopes this makes the Metro even better.
They want everyone to help keep the pillars clean.
MMRDA has painted 2,583 Mumbai Metro pillars with color-coded designs.
The project aims to help commuters easily identify metro lines.
Work has been completed across Metro corridors 2B, 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7A, and 9.
Each design matches the color of its respective Metro line.
MMRDA urges the public to take care of the pillars.
